ORAL ORDER
The case on hand demonstrates classic abuse of process. Petitioner's account was declared as NPA and action was contemplated by the respondent-bank invoking the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as 'SARFAESI Act').
2. The said action contemplated by the respondent secured creditor was entertained by this Court and vide order dated 31.10.2022, the petitioner was protected by a conditional order subject to deposit of 30% of the amount in 3 installments.
HC-KAR
3. The counsel appearing for the respondent bank on instructions submits that the petitioner's loan account was revived and the petitioner was called upon to ensure that the monthly EMI is deposited. On instruction he further submits that the petitioner's account is again declared NPA and therefore he contends that the action initiated by the respondent-bank, which is now subjudiced in the caption petition, is rendered infractures.
4. Recording the statement of the respondent-bank, though this is a fit case to impose exemplary costs, taking a lenient view, this Court refrains from imposing costs for having misused the writ forum.
Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. The respondent-bank is at liberty to proceed with the recovery proceedings.
