2.
By this application, the applicant seeks quashing of the order dated 5 September 2024 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Mumbai, whereby bail granted to the applicant was cancelled. Further, the applicant also seeks renewal of his request for bail in anticipation of arrest in CR No.479 of 2023, registered at Antop Hill Police Station, Mumbai, for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3.
Mr Ramamurthy, the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant and Mr Sujit Mane, the learned Counsel appearing for respondent No.2 / informant, jointly submit that respondent No.2 and the applicant have resolved their dispute amicably. The informant has received three cheques of Rs.13,10,000/- each from the applicant, has no grievance, and expressed his consent to grant pre-arrest bail to the applicant. To this effect, respondent No.2 and the applicant have executed consent terms dated 24 September 2024, which is taken on record and marked 'X' for identification.
4.
After perusing the records, it appears that the genesis of the offence is civil in nature arising out of the sale of property. The involved parties have now reached a comprehensive settlement regarding their dispute, and the informant consents to granting
anticipatory bail to the applicant in terms of the consent terms. The informant, present in the Court and identified by his Counsel, does not object, reaffirms the contents of the consent terms and agrees to grant pre-arrest bail to the applicant.
5.
In this backdrop, the application is allowed in the following terms:
(a) The order dated 5 September 2024 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Mumbai, in Criminal Misc. Application No.484 of 2024 is quashed and set aside.
(b) In the event of the applicant's arrest in connection with CR No. 479 of 2023, registered at Antop Hill Police Station, Mumbai, he shall be released on bail upon executing a PR Bond of Rs.25,000/- and furnishing one or more sureties in the like amount.

The application stands disposed of accordingly. R. N. Laddha, J.
