Dr.Joseph K.Masih .....Petitioner versus Life Insurance Corporation Housing Finance Limited and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Gaurav Mohunta, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved by the action said to have been taken by respondent No.1-Corporation under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as 'the 2002 Act'). It is averred that the District Magistrate, S.A.S.Nagar, Mohali, has passed an order dated 25.11.2010 (Annexure P-13) under Section 14 of the Act enabling respondent No.1 to dispossess the petitioner from the residential house even when the provisions of the 2002 Act are not attracted and a civil suit between the parties is already pending before the Appellate Authority at the instance of the respondent-Corporation. C.W.P.No .23383 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, I am of the considered view that all the above noticed contentions can be effectively raised by the petitioner before the Debt Recovery Tribunal under Section 17 of the Act. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of by relegating the petitioner to the afore-stated alternative remedy. However, with a view to enable the petitioner to approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal, his dispossession from the residential house shall remain stayed for a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. December 24, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
