P.C. : The only relief that is sought in these proceedings by the Petitioner is a direction to the Collector and District Magistrate, Kolhapur, the First Respondent to take action under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. The Petitioner has submitted an application to the First Respondent a copy of which is annexed at Exhibit E to the Petition. The Collector had called upon the bank to furnish certain documents by a letter dated 29 September 2010. The bank has responded by its letter dated 5 November 2010. The provisions of Section 14(1) are clear and the Collector in the course of those proceedings is not empowered to launch upon a detailed enquiry or adjudication. That jurisdiction is not vested in the Collector. In the circumstances, we direct the First Respondent to PNP 2 WP10026-10.2.sxw take a final decision on the application submitted by the Petitioner and to pass an appropriate order in any event within a period of two weeks from the date on which a certified copy of this order is produced before the Collector by the Petitioner.
