SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- O.P.(DRT) No.1850 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the authorised officer of UCO bank. In respect of proceedings under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, respondents 1 and 2 have filed S.A.No.105/2011 before the 3rd respondent Debt Recovery Tribunal. The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining of delay in disposing of I.A.No.382/2011. The petitioner seeks the following reliefs: “i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 3rd respondent Tribunal to re-consider the extension of the interim order passed in IA No.382/2011 in SA No.105/2011, in the light of the counter filed by the petitioner and the documents produced in the written statement; ii) Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 3rd respondent Tribunal to dispose of IA No.382/2011 in SA No.105/2011, forthwith and further to dispose of SA No.105/2011, within a time limit”. It is submitted before me that SA itself has been heard and taken for orders on 2.9.2011. That being so, it is only appropriate that the Debt Recovery Tribunal passes orders on the same O.P.(DRT) No.1850/11 2 expeditiously. Accordingly, this Original Petition (DRT) is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent Debt Recovery Tribunal to pass orders on S.A.No.105/2011 or in I.A.No.382/2011, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
