This court after considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent bank, on 06.03.2025 passed the following order: “Standing Counsel takes notice for the respondents. 2. There will be an interim order staying confirmation of sale pursuant to Ext.P1 for a period of one month on condition that the petitioner shall remit an amount of ₹5 lakhs on or before 31.03.2025. Post on 03.04.2025.” 2. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent bank submits that despite several opportunities granted to the petitioner the petitioner has not paid any amount pursuant to the interim order dated 06.03.2025. 3. This Court exercises very limited jurisdiction in matters arising under the SARFAESI Act and unless the borrowers were to demonstrate bona fides, it will not be proper for this Court to grant any relief including the relief of repayment in installments. Since the petitioner has not demonstrated bona fides, I have no WP(C) NO. 9061 OF 2025 3 2025:KER:31261 option but to dismiss this Writ Petition. This Writ Petition is dismissed accordingly. sd/- GOPINATH P.
