The reference is made to the letter dated 11.12.2024. Copy of the said letter is placed on record. 3. Taking note that the sale has not fructified into a successful auction as per the say of the respondent - Bank and also taking note that the OTS offer though approved, has not been adhered to by the petitioner in terms of the letter dated 11.12.2024 petition is disposed off as not calling for adjudication. All contentions of the petitioner are kept open to be raised in substantive proceedings in the event there is any other measure by the Bank. 4. Needless to state it is clarified that the only remedy available to the petitioner would be in terms of the statutory scheme under the SARFAESI Act and not by approaching this Court.
