The Court made the following: 3 ei giXJ 'W.<P.9/o.3087S of2025 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy) Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. The petitioners are the borrowers who availed loan from the 2""^ respondent - M/s. Aadhar Housing Finance Limited. They offered the property in question as security for repayment of the loan amount. As the petitioners failed to repay the borrowed amount, the 2""' respondent has initiated proceedings under SARFAESI Act and brought the secured assets for sale by way of conducting public auction. The said proceedings initiated under SARFAESI Act are challenged on various grounds by the petitioner before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam by way of filing S.A.No.659 of 2025. They also filed an application I.A.No.2144 of 2025 seeking stay. The grievance of the writ petitioners in this writ petition is that the Tribunal has ordered notice in the said Interlocutory Application and posted the matter to 11.11.2025, even though the possession of the property is sought to be taken tomorrow i.e., on 07.11.2025. It is the grievance of the petitioners that if the possession of the property is taken tomorrow, the said Interlocutory Application I.A.No.2144 of 2025 as well as S.A.No.659 of 2025 that was filed becomes infructuous. So, they prayed to direct the 1 respondent - the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, to dispose of the Interlocutory Application I.A.No.2144 of 2025 expeditiously. 2. 3. St 4. Having regard to the said limited grievance of the writ petitioners and the prayer made in the writ petition, this Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the 1 respondent the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, to take up I.A.No.2144 of 2025 for hearing expeditiously, if notice is already served on the respondent, if not, after notice is served on the respondent and dispose of the said Interlocutory Application on merits according to law after hearing both the parties. Till then, there shall be a direction to the 2^^ respondent not to take physical possession of the property in question. There shall be no order as to costs. v > A 4 C.M%3 ^ gT%J W.(PMoJ087Sof202S sequel, Miscellaneous Applications pending, if any, shall 5. As a stand closed.
