A charge sheet was filed against the appellant and seven others. Appellant was charged for taking the benefit of overdrafts. For realization of said amount, Bank filed application for recovery before DR Tribunal. Before the tribunal, appellant and the Bank entered into a settlement pursuant whereto Rs. 25.51 lacs was paid. CBI returned the title deeds in respect of the property which were kept as security for obtaining the loan from the Bank.
