Upon hearing counsel appearing on behalf of the parties and perusing the material available on record, it is clear that the order under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act was passed on 01.04.2021. However, the respondent authorities have still not given possession to the petitioner. 4. The delay of four years in giving possession in spite of the order having been passed under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act cannot be countenanced by this Court. 5. Accordingly, the authority concerned is directed to take all steps including police assistance to ensure that the possession is provided to the petitioner within a period of one month from date. 6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 24.4.2025 Shahroz (Dr. Y.K. Srivastava,J.) (Shekhar B. Saraf,J.)
