Respondents O R D E R :- (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ashutosh Mohunta) It is asserted that the 2nd respondent, in August, 2003, having availed loan of Rs.25,00,000/- from the petitioner-Corporation Bank, defaulted in repayment of the loan, as such, the petitioner-Corporation Bank issued Possession Notice dated 08.12.2007 and also took physical possession of the small portion of the property in question. Challenging the Possession Notice, the 2nd respondent filed S.A. No.5 of 2008 before the 1st respondent and obtained ex parte interim stay of the Possession Notice in I.A. No. 14 of 2008 in S.A. No. 5 of 2008. Then, the petitioner filed counter in I.A. No.14 of 2008 and also reply statement in S.A. No. 5 of 2008. Now, the grievance of the petitioner- Corporation Bank is that even though the petitioner filed counter affidavit and also reply statement, the 1st respondent-Debts Recovery Tribunal, has not disposed of S.A. No. 5 of 2008. Hence, the present writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. Smt. V. Dyumani, learned counsel for the petitioner-Corporation Bank, has submitted that there is no regular Presiding Officer to the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad since May, 2010. It is further submitted that although the Presiding Officer of the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Bombay is the In-charge for Debts Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad, he comes to Hyderabad only twice in a month, as such, the case of the petitioner has not yet been disposed of. She has further submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is given to the 1st respondent-Debts Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad to dispose of S.A. No. 5 of 2008 at the earliest.
