The terms of compromise in the form of an agreement between the parties, have been signed by the parties to the compromise. As per the terms of compromise, the 1st defendant has settled the loan amount payable to the bank, and the plaintiff has given his no objection to release the title deeds deposited by the plaintiff at the time of availing the loan in respect of the suit property, evidencing the creation of equitable mortgage for the loan availed. 2. Since the loan has not been paid and defaulted, the bank has taken SARFAESI proceedings, and the suit property was brought for sale through public auction. The plaintiff also participated in the auction, and he has taken the suit property subsequently in the public auction. Despite the sale certificate have been given in favour of the plaintiff, in view of the subsequent settlement between the parties, the sale certificate has not been registered so far. As the 1st defendant has settled the loan amount, the plaintiff has also given his no https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CS No. 1065 of 2007 objection to the bank to give back the title deeds to the 1st defendant. In fact, the no objection certificate is directed to be given by the plaintiff through his power of attorney as per the order of this court dated 17/09/2025, for the reason stated therein. 3. In the subsequent order dated 7.10.2025, it is reported to the court that the no objection certificate given by the power of attorney of the plaintiff has been handed over to the 4th defendant bank. Even though there cannot be any difficulty for the bank to return the title deeds of the 1st defendant in respect of the suit property, the learned counsel for the 4th defendant bank raised a concern that the plaintiff has filed a writ petition in WP.NO. 30604/2024 and got an order with the following observations: “2. Shri.Dolia submitted that possession could not be handed over in view of various litigations launched by the borrower and various orders passed by Debts Recovery Tribunal/Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal which were carried right up to Apex Court, but, very soon, possession will be handed over. Shri.Dolia, on instructions from Mr.Satish Kumar, Authorised Officer of Guindy Branch, states that an application has https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CS No. 1065 of 2007 already been filed under Section 14 of Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 and hopefully, within three months, an order under Section 14 will be passed and possession could be handed over. 3. In view of the statement made by Shri.Dolia, counsel for petitioner states that petition be disposed with liberty to approach the Court if need arises. 4. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly with liberty as prayed for. There shall be no order as to costs. “ 4. The learned counsel for the plaintiff has submitted today that the order in the writ petition has lost its value because the matter has been settled between the parties, and the plaintiff will not insist for possession nor for registration of the sale certificate, as he has got back the sale amount paid by him during the auction proceedings. 5. As all these transactions form part of the terms of compromise entered between the plaintiff and the 1st defendant and recorded by DRAT as well, there will not be any difficulty for the bank, at least now, to release the title deeds to https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CS No. 1065 of 2007 the 1st defendant preferably within a period of ten days. 6. Taking into consideration all the issues settled between the parties, and the parties to the suit do not have any further subsisting claim between themselves except the bank is objecting to return the title deeds of the suit property to the first defendant. 7. Hence the suits are disposed of as settled out of court between the parties in terms of the compromise. Consequently, 10 days time is granted to the 4 th defendant to return the title deeds deposited in the bank in respect of the suit property by the 1st defendant. As the matter has been settled, the court fee paid by the plaintiffs are ordered to be refunded fully.
