The petitioner herein has suffered an order of conviction before the trial Court, namely, the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Karur, in S.T.C.No. 3416 of 2023, under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Challenging the same, the petitioner has preferred an Appeal in C.A.No.140 of 2025, which is pending before the Principal District and Sessions Court, Karur. When the appeal is pending, the petitioner has filed a memo on 08.08.2025 to the effect that he is ready to settle the case as per the law amicably in the light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. However, so far the memo has not been taken into consideration by the Appellate Court and hence, the present petition.
