HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4936 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners obtained loan from the Srikakulam Branch of Indian Bank, 1st respondent herein. They have also deposited the title deeds in respect of movable properties, by way of mortgage, for repayment of the loan. The petitioners state that on earlier occasion, defaults were committed and on a request made by them facility of payment of certain installments was given. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are engaging anti-social elements for recovery of the loan installments without taking recourse to law vis- à-vis the property. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. The allegation of the petitioners that the respondents are engaging anti-social elements for recovery of the loan is flatly denied by the respondents. The 1st respondent is a Nationalized Bank and it has no necessity to resort to such recourse, particularly, when the repayment is secured by mortgaging the property. They can even invoke the provisions under the Seuritisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets Enforcement Act, 2002. It is brought to the notice of this Court that notices under the said Act have been issued. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not take any steps against the petitioners in person, and it shall be open to them to proceed against the property, that is offered as security, in case, the loan amount is not paid. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J March 01, 2011. KTL
