Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.KRISHNAM RAJU Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.A.RAJASHEKAR REDDY (ASST SOLICITOR GEN) The Court made the following : ORDER: (Per Sri Justice Sanjay Kumar) This writ petition is filed by the Syndicate Bank, respondent in S.A.No.132 of 2006 before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad, which was filed by respondents 1 and 2 in the writ petition. The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the interim order dated 25.4.2007 passed by the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal, Chennai in I.A.No.345 of 2007 in IN(SARFAESI)-138 of 2007. By the said order the Appellate Tribunal took note of the fact that the respondents’ appeal under Section 17 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (for short, ‘the Act’) filed before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad, aggrieved by the possession notice issued by the bank under Section 13(4) of the Act, was pending and the Appellate Tribunal also observed that the respondents herein had complied with the interim order passed by the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad. The Appellate Tribunal observed that there was no reason for the Debt Recovery Tribunal to vacate the said order at that stage. Stating so, the Appellate Tribunal directed the respondents to deposit the amount ordered by the Debt Recovery Tribunal with the respondent bank on or before 31.5.2007 and disposed of the appeal. The interim order granted by the Appellate Tribunal was directed to be continued till the disposal of the appeal, S.A.No.132 of 2006 pending before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad. Against this order, the petitioner bank approached this Court by way of present writ petition. In spite of notice being ordered by this Court, respondents 1 and 2 have not chosen to put in an appearance. In view of the fact that the Appellate Tribunal passed the order as long back as on 25.4.2007 directing that the stay shall continue pending disposal of S.A.No.132 of 2006 before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad, we do not see any reason to interfere with the same at this stage. It is relevant to note that it is open for the bank to work out its rights and remedies before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad in the said S.A.No.132 of 2006. We do not see any merit in the present writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. ________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 18.4.2009 kpr
