Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned District Collector and District Magistrate, Alwar passed the order dated 05.06.2017 in the application filed by the petitioner under Section 14 of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act of 2002') for getting the possession of the secured asset, whereby, the Tehsildar was
directed to implement the aforesaid order by handling over physical possession of the secured asset, however, the aforesaid
[2025:RJ-JP:43889] (3 of 4) [CW-16607/2025]
order is yet to be complied with by the Tehsildar. Thereby, the Tehsildar has provided time to the borrower to make payment in respect of the loan, which is not within his jurisdiction. Hence, the Tehsildar is duty bound to comply with the order dated 05.06.2017 passed by learned District Collector and District Magistrate, Alwar.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the outstanding debt on the part of the borrower is about 48 crores as on the present date and the petitioner is not able to receive the debt due to inaction on the part of the respondents; particularly as the Tehsildar is not complying with the order dated 05.06.2017 passed by learned District Collector and District Magistrate, Alwar.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the petition be
disposed of at this stage with a direction to the concerned Tehsildar to comply with the aforesaid order and take the possession of the secured asset.

7. Mr. V.D. Gathala, AGC accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 1,2 & 4.
8. Issue notice to respondent no. 3 only by both modes i.e., by ordinary process as well as by registered post.

[2025:RJ-JP:43889] (4 of 4) [CW-16607/2025] District Magistrate, Alwar under Section 14 of the Act of 2002.
