Conclusion
Abdullah Khan and in those circumstances, proceedingswere initiated under Section 61 oi the Andhra PradeshCooperative Societies Act. An award was passed on30.03.2002 and pursuant to the award, executionpetition was preferred under Section 71 of the AndhraPradesh Cooperative Societies Act read with Rule 52 ofthe Rules framed thereunder. The undisputed facts ofthe case further reveal that the appeal was [preferred]before the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Tribunal atHyderabad (hereinafter referred to as, the Tribunal) andfinally the Tribunal has allowed the appeal by [judgment]dated 09.03.2007. In all the cases, the appeals wereallowed in favour of the borrowers. It is noteworthy tomention that the property rvas sold, sa,le certificates weregranted in the matter and the Bank thereafter preferredwrit petitions challenging the' order dated 09.03.2007passed by the Tribunal. The writ petitions were also liledbir the successive bidders in whose favour sale [was]confirmed and finally the learned Single Judge hasallowed the writ petitions and set aside the award [passed]by the Tribunal dated 09.03.2007. The operative [portion]of the order passed by the learned Single [Judge ][while]allowing the u'rit petitions in favour of the Bank [is]reproduced as under:- I

(1) As the proceedings initiated before the Registrar [or]any other alrthority under the 1964 Act [were ][bona ]fideand as considerable timc had been consumed [in ][the]litigation in this case also, the respondents-banksshall be entitled to set off the [period ]spent in [pursuing]their claims before the Registrar or other Fora [and]before this Court, in computing the [period ][for ][hling]appropriate applications/ claims [before ]the appropriateauthority/Tribunal.
In the considered opinion of this Court, [keeping in]view the [judgment ]of the Full Bench, the action [initiated]by the Bank certainly deserves to be set [aside, ][as ][it ][was]only the Debts Recovery Tribunal, which [was ][having]jurisdiction in the matter keeping in view the definition of"bank" and "banking company" as [defined ][under ][the]Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
