Consulta Juris for the Petitioner. None for the Respondents. CORAM: DR. D. Y. CHANDRACHUD & A. A. SAYED, J.J. DATED : AUGUST 20, 2011. P.C.: The Securitisation Application filed by the Respondents has been dismissed by the Debts Recovery Tribunal on 14 May 2009 and an Appeal against that order has been filed before the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal. The grievance of the Petitioner is that the DRAT has not even taken up the application for waiver of pre-deposit and as a result of numerous adjournments which have been granted since 2010, there is no progress in the proceedings before the Appellate Tribunal. In view of that, the interests of justice would be served by requesting the DRAT to take up the proceedings on an expeditious basis. Since at present, there is a vacancy in the office of Chairperson of the DRAT at Mumbai, concurrent charge has been given to the Chairperson at Kolkatta. The Petitioner would be at liberty to apply for expedited hearing and if such an application is made, the DRAT is requested to take up the proceedings on an expeditious basis having regard to the pendency of the matter for a SM 2 904.wp.7652.10 considerable period. 2. The Petition is accordingly disposed of. (A. A. SAYED, J.) (DR. D. Y. CHANDRACHUD, J.)
