VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.M. POONACHA ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE) 1. The appellant has filed the present appeal impugning an order dated 18.12.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.No.27909/2025 (GM-DRT). 2. The appellant had filed said writ petition, inter alia, impugning a notice dated to 16.04.2025 issued under Section 13(2) of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 [SARFAESI Act]. 3. The appellant had also sought directions to the respondent bank for considering his proposal for one-time settlement of the outstanding dues. 4. The learned Single Judge has declined to entertain the writ petition on the ground that the petitioner had an alternate remedy before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. Notwithstanding the same, the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7703-DB WA No. 265 of 2026 learned Single Judge had also restrained the respondent from taking any coercive steps for a period of six (6) weeks from the date of the impugned order. 5. We find no infirmity with the decision. Undisputedly, the appellant has a remedy under the SARFAESI Act. In this view, the learned Single Judge rightly declined to entertain the writ petition. 6. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. Sd/- (VIBHU BAKHRU) CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (C.M. POONACHA) JUDGE KMV List No.: 2 Sl No.: 21
