Summary: A legal battle between A. Karuppaiah and the State Bank of India ended quietly as the case was settled out of court. Judge A.D. Maria Clete dismissed the appeal after both sides agreed to withdraw.
A. Karuppaiah filed another appeal against the State Bank of India. He wanted to change an earlier decision by the Principal District and Sessions Court in Sivagangai. This earlier decision had overturned a ruling from the Sub Court in Manamadurai.
Karuppaiah's path through the courts started with a decision in his favor from the Sub Court, Manamadurai, in 2023. However, the Principal District and Sessions Court in Sivagangai changed this decision in 2024, leading Karuppaiah to appeal again.
On August 22, 2025, during the hearing, Karuppaiah's lawyer, Mr. D. Senthil, announced that the issue had been settled out of court. He asked to withdraw the appeal. The lawyer for the State Bank of India, Mr. Alaguram Jothi, agreed.
"The issue has been settled out of Court," said Karuppaiah's lawyer during the hearing.
Judge A.D. Maria Clete noted this agreement and dismissed the second appeal as withdrawn. There were no extra costs involved, and the related petition was also closed.
With the case settled, both parties can now move on. The court's decision brought a quiet end to what could have been a long legal battle.
