Judgment and Decree dated 03.01.2025 passed in C.S.(Comm.Div.) No.94 of 2021.
2. The underlying dispute relates to a redemption suit filed by the Appellants concerning a First Mortgage Deed dated 16.04.2012 executed for a loan of Rs.1.50 crores. The Appellants contended that they had paid a total sum of Rs.3,87,21,482/- and were entitled to a refund of excess payments amounting to Rs.1,91,67,279/- based on legal interest rates. Further, the Appellants challenged a Second Simple Mortgage Deed dated 13.03.2020 as being a sham and nominal document unsupported by consideration. The suit was dismissed by the Learned Single Judge on 03.01.2025, following which this appeal was preferred.
3. During the pendency of the above Appeal, the Appellants and the Respondents have entered into an amicable settlement out of court, resolving all disputes and claims arising from the subject matter of the suit and the appeal.
4. In view of the said settlement, the Appellants do not wish to press the present Appeal and seek the leave of this Hon'ble Court to withdraw the same as 'Settled Out of Court."
