HC-KAR
iii) Award costs of this proceedings and grant such other relief/s to the petitioners as this Hon'ble Court deems fit, in the interest of justice and equity."
2. The factual matrix in a nutshell leading to the present writ petition is that the petitioner purchased property bearing No.64, PID-64-144-600, property No.600, Corporation Colony, Jayanagar 9th Block, East End Circle, Bangalore1 in the auction conducted on 28.09.2022. The said auction was held consequent to proceedings initiated under the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 20022. The sale certificate was issued on 30.01.2023 and the same was registered on 08.05.2023.
3. It is the contention of the petitioner that the subject property purchased was stated to have been measuring 1000 sq.ft. However, the same actually measures only 700 sq.ft. Hence, the petitioner made various representations to the respondent seeking for difference in the value of the dimension of the subject property to be reimbursed.
1 Hereinafter referred to as 'subject property'
2 Hereinafter referred to as 'SARFAESI Act'
HC-KAR
4. The said representations not having been positively considered, the present writ petition is filed.
5. It is forthcoming that disputed questions of fact are required to be adjudicated while considering the case of the petitioner. It is expedient that adjudication of such disputed questions of fact are not undertaken in writ proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
6. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands dismissed.
7. This order will not preclude the petitioner from availing the remedies in accordance with law.
8. Pending IAs., if any, also stand disposed of.
