For Petitioner(s): Mr.P.G.Thiyagu For Respondent(s): Mr.M.L.Ganesh for R1 ORDER (Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) The writ petition, at the instance of the auction purchaser, ventilates a grievance that even though he purchased the property in an auction sale way back in 2022, he is unable to reap the fruits because of the pendency of a petition before the Debts Recovery Tribunal filed by the borrower challenging the order passed under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002. 2. In the absence of there being any material before us as to how many cases, which have been filed prior to the petitioner's case, are pending before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, we are not inclined to issue any time bound direction. However, considering the very nature of the proceedings, the Debts Recovery Tribunal should ______________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.36772 of 2025 do well to decide the case as expeditiously as possible, without granting unnecessary adjournment to any of the parties. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. (MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA, CJ) (G.ARUL MURUGAN,J) 25.09.2025 Index : Yes/No Neutral Citation : Yes/No sasi To: 1.
