JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court challenging the proceedings initiated against the petitioner under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act to recover amounts due under credit facilities availed by the petitioner from the respondent Bank.
2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent Bank, this Court on 13.03.2025 passed the following order:- “Post on 27-03-2025. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent bank seeks time to get instructions. In the meantime, taking of physical possession of the secured asset shall stand deferred till 27-03-2025 on condition that the petitioner remits a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs only) towards the loan liability within a period of ten days from today.”
3. When the matter is taken up for consideration today, it is the submission of the learned counsel for the respondent Bank that no amount has been remitted by the petitioner pursuant to the interim order dated 13.03.2025.
4. Considering the fact that this Court exercises very limited jurisdiction in the matter of challenge to proceedings under the SARFAESI Act, I am of the view that no further relief can be granted to
the petitioner as the petitioner has not proved his bonafides. The writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- GOPINATH P. JUDGE DK
