JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is against the alleged commissions and omissions of the second respondent bank which is a private bank and its Branch Manager. This court can interfere with only the steps taken by the first respondent Recovery Officer. But as long as the recovery certificate is there, he is acting only within the jurisdiction. Therefore, this court cannot judicially review the actions of the bank or its Branch Manager. Therefore, no relief could be granted to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, MS JUDGE.
