In view of the order that we propose to pass today, we are not inclined to issue Notice to the Respondents. In the given facts and circumstances of the case and since the Petitioner is an auction purchaser under the SARFAESI Act, we direct Respondent No. 1 to consider the request of the Petitioner for registration of the Sale Certificate dated 11th November, 2024 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of uploading of this Order, in case there is no other legal impediment. 5. We make it clear that we have not adverted into the merits of the matter and all contentions of the parties are kept open. 6. With the aforesaid direction, the Writ Petition is Disposed Of.
