Counsel for the Petitioner: 1. KURITI BHASKARA RAO Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. 3 CMR,J & GTK,J W.P.No.798 of 2026 The Court made the following: ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Nooka Jagannadham, learned counsel for the respondents. 2. Challenging the measures initiated by the Bank, for recovery of the loan amount from the petitioner, who is the principal borrower, the petitioner has already approached the Debts Recovery Tribunal seeking redressal of his grievance. It appears the said securitization application filed before the Debts Recovery Tribunal was dismissed and thereafter, the petitioner has also preferred an appeal before the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal. However, without pursuing his remedy before the appellate authority, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of filing the writ petition. 3. In the said facts and circumstances of the case, as the petitioner has already approached the appellate authority, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter and to entertain the writ petition. 4. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to pursue his remedy before the appellate authority where the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________________________ JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY _____________________________ JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA Date: 28.01.2026 MDP
