C.B.I vs SADHU RAM SINGLA .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the criminal proceedings against the respondents under Sections 420 and 471 IPC was justified due to a settlement reached between the Bank and the respondent-company. The Court emphasized that the compromise under the One Time Settlement scheme, which involved the payment of Rs.7.25 crores, effectively resolved the dispute and negated the basis for the criminal charges. Consequently, the appeal by the Central Bureau of Investigation was dismissed, upholding the High Court's order.
