1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4349/2008 Ramesh Gupta (Agarwal) & Ors. v. The District Magistrate, Sirohi & Ors. Date of Order :: 10th July, 2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Niraj Kumar Jain, for the petitioners. .... This petition for writ is preferred to challenge the order dated 3.5.2008 passed by the District Magistrate, Sirohi exercising powers under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Re-construction of Financial Assets & Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act of 2002”). The petitioners are the workmen with the industrial unit, subject to possession in pursuant to the order impugned. The contention of the petitioners is that before taking possession of the secured assets the liability of the employer relating to grant of wages to the workmen is required to be discharged. I do not find any substance in the argument advanced. The assets of the industrial unit concerned are ordered to be taken into possession by the District Magistrate with a view to secure the charge 2 of the financial institution. The petitioners can very well claim their rights relating to wages from the financial institution. An order passed under Section 14 of the Act of 2002 cannot be said bad due to pendency of any charge or claim of the workmen. The petition for writ is dismissed accordingly.
