In the afore drawn compromise, the real brother of the petitioner herein, namely Gurmeet Singh, undertook to discharge the liabilities, as became encumbered, upon the petitioner herein, and, as arises from the issuance of the dishonoured negotiable instrument(s), to the complainant by the petitioner. Though, in pursuance to the afore made compromise, rather one Gurmeet Singh purportedly for discharging the there through(s) encumbered liability upon him, hence issued a negotiable instrument to the complainant.
