2. The petitioner - Bank is before this Court seeking for enforcement of the order dated 29.07.2026 passed in Crl.Mis.No.163/2026 (Annexure-A to the writ petition) by the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Jude and CJM, Chamarajanagar, which has been rendered pursuant to a petition filed under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 20021.
3. It is case of the petitioner that consequent to the order dated 29.07.2026, it has made a request dated 16.09.2026 (Annexures-B and D to the writ petition) to the Police Authorities as well as the Deputy Commissioner seeking for the assistance in enforcing the said order dated 29.07.2026. In this regard, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the in a similar fact situation, a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of M/s Tumkur Grain Merchants Co-operative Bank Ltd., V.s The Chief Inspector of Police and Others2 has granted the relief. The relevant portion of the said order is as under:
1 Hereinafter referred as to 'Act' 2 WP.No.19849/2021 DD 09.12.2021
HC-KAR
"2. Learned AGA on request having accepted notice for the first respondent and notice to the rest is dispensed with as being unnecessary, submits that he would instruct his client to look into the grievance of the petitioner swiftly and in accordance with law. He also submits that since the property in which the security interest is created, is occupied by multiple persons, extra police force needs be deployed, and therefore the petitioner has to inform the police in advance; this is fair enough.
In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed off directing the first respondent to assist the Shirastedar of the Court below in taking possession of the subject property immediately after petitioner makes the written request in that regard.
Non-compliance of this direction may result into multiple adverse entries being made in the Service Register of the police officials concerned.
Costs made easy."
4. In view of the aforementioned factual matrix and the orders passed by this Court, as noted above, similar relief is to be granted in present writ petition.
5. Accordingly, the writ petition is to disposed of directing respondent Nos.1 and 2 to assist the Court Commissioner in taking possession of the property in question, consequent to the request of the petitioner dated 16.09.2026 (Annexures-B and D to the writ petition) forthwith, in any event not later than two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
HC-KAR
6. Pending IAs., if any, stand disposed of.
