PALA KARTHI KIRAN Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. 4 CMR,J & GTK,J W.P.No.31754 of 2025 The Court made the following: ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy) Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. 2. Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 are the borrowers, who availed loan from respondent No.3-Bank. Petitioner Nos.3 to 5 are the guarantors, who offered their property as security for re-payment of the loan availed by petitioner Nos.1 and 2. As the borrowers committed default in re-payment of the loan amount, the Bank has initiated the proceedings under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (for short ‘SARFAESI Act’). The possession of the secured asset is sought to be taken under the SARFAESI Act. Therefore, challenging the said proceedings, the petitioners have approached the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, by way of filing S.A.No.667 of 2025 and along with the said application, they have filed an interlocutory application seeking stay of the proceedings. 3. Now, the only limited grievance of the petitioners is that even though there is an urgency to hear the stay petition and to dispose of the same that the Tribunal has posted the matter to a distant date i.e., 10.12.2025 and as there is an urgency in the matter, as the possession of the secured asset may be taken pursuant to the proceedings initiated under the SARFAESI Act at any moment of time, the petitioners sought direction to the Tribunal to dispose of the said stay application expeditiously. 4. Therefore, in view of the said limited grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, to hear the stay application in I.A.No.4246 of 2025 expeditiously and preferably on or before 04.12.2025 and dispose of the same, on merits, according to law by 04.12.2025. Till 04.12.2025, there shall be a direction to the respondent No.3-Bank not to take possession of the property. If the petitioners fail to get ready for hearing in the stay petition and 5 CMR,J & GTK,J W.P.No.31754 of 2025 co-operate with the Tribunal to dispose of the stay petition on or before 04.12.2025, the stay stands vacated without any further reference to the Court. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________________________ JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY _____________________________ JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA Date: 19.11.2025 MDP
