IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1240 of 2009 ALLAHABAD BANK THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN & ORS Versus RAMA WOODS &GENERAL INDUSTRIES ----------- 02. 13.05.2009 It is a matter of great concern that though this Court passed an order dated 12.12.2007 in C.W.J.C. No. 11580 of 2007 that the Appellate Authority should decide the SARFESI appeal stay matter within a period of one month during which interim stay would continue, more than one and half years have gone for yet the Tribunal has not found time enough to dispose of the stay orders. This is virtually defiance of the orders of this Court. If there was any practical or other difficulty in way of the Debt Recovery Tribunal in compliance with orders of this Court the proper and legal way was to approach this Court for extension of time but the manner in which the Tribunal is proceeding is contemptuous. I, therefore, direct that the Tribunal which has now got permanent Presiding Officer would take up this case and finally decide the appeal in question itself at the earliest not later than two months from today. The order of the writ Court is accordingly modified to the extent indicated above. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
