PICUP's application ... - Issues:1. Validity of the one-time settlement agreement between the Company and PICUP.2. Impleadment of PICUP in settlement proceedings.3. Return of title deeds and settlement amount following the cancellation of the one-time settlement.Analysis:1. The case involved a one-time settlement (OTS) between the Company and PICUP to settle a debt. The settlement aimed to revive the Company's business by resolving financial difficulties. However, issues arose when the settlement amount was paid, and subsequently, the OTS was cancelled by PICUP due to alleged non-disclosure of facts.2. PICUP filed applications seeking directions regarding the return of title deeds and settlement amount. The Court noted that PICUP was aware of the settlement terms between the Company and another party, Darshan Khurana, as PICUP was impleaded in the settlement proceedings. The Court emphasized that PICUP's consent to the impleadment prevented it from challenging the settlement later.3. The Court examined the arguments presented by both parties. It was highlighted that Darshan Khurana, who paid the settlement amount, should either receive the title deeds or get the money back. The Court ruled in favor of Darshan Khurana, directing PICUP to return the settlement amount within three weeks. PICUP was instructed to make a separate application to retrieve the title deeds once the payment was made.4. The Court addressed PICUP's application requesting that the title deeds should not be handed over to Darshan Khurana. Given the ruling on the return of the settlement amount, the Court disposed of this application accordingly, as the issue of handing over the title deeds did not persist.5. Another application seeking to purchase the property or permit an auction was deemed infructuous and dismissed. The Court scheduled a renotification for further proceedings related to the case.In conclusion, the judgment clarified the obligations of the parties involved in the one-time settlement, emphasizing the importance of honoring the terms agreed upon and ensuring fairness in the resolution of financial disputes.
