The Court made the following: 3 CMR,J & GTK,J W.P.No.32506 of 2025 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner is the principal borrower who availed loan from the 3rd respondent – M/s. Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company Limited. She has offered her immovable property as security for repayment of the loan amount. As she committed default in repayment of the loan amount, the 3rd respondent has initiated proceedings under SARFAESI Act to take possession of the secured asset. 3. The main grievance of the writ petitioner is that no notice under Section 13(2) of the SARFAESI Act was served on her and without adhering to the procedure prescribed under law that the possession is sought to be taken. However, it is submitted that the petitioner came to know about the measures initiated to take possession recently, after receiving the notice of the Advocate Commissioner and that she could not immediately approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal and requests for indulgence of this Court to give limited protection till she approaches the Debt Recovery Tribunal challenging the said proceedings initiated under the Act by the 3rd respondent. 4. Therefore, as it is stated that no notice under Section 13(2) of the SARFAESI Act was served on the petitioner, considering the same, this Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the petitioner to approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal, which is appropriate forum for redressal of his grievance. The petitioner has to approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal on or before 02.12.2025. Further, there shall be a direction to the concerned, to whom the warrant was entrusted, not to take possession of the property till 02.12.2025. If the petitioner fails to approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal on or before 02.12.2025, the interim direction given herein stands vacated without any further reference to this Court. 4 CMR,J & GTK,J W.P.No.32506 of 2025 5.
