The petitioner challenges the proceedings initiated under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (for short “the SARFAESI Act”) to take possession of the secured asset by the 3rd respondent-financial institution on the ground that the notices under Sections 13(2) and 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act are not given. 3. The petitioner got an efficacious remedy of approaching the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, which is the appropriate forum constituted under the special enactment with special mechanism for redressal of his grievance on the ground alleged above. However, without approaching the Tribunal, he has invoked the writ jurisdiction of this Court. So, we are not inclined to interfere and entertain this writ petition. 4. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to approach the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, for redressal of his grievance. Since the interim order is in force in this writ petition granted by a coordinate Bench of this Court, it shall continue till the petitioner files his securitisation application before the Tribunal. Two (02) weeks time from the date of this order is granted to the petitioner to approach the Tribunal. If he fails to approach the Tribunal within the time stipulated above and obtain any interim order, the interim order granted in this writ petition stands vacated without any further reference to this Court. There shall be no order as to costs. 4 Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, in the Writ Petition, shall stand closed. ________________________________________ JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY _____________________________ JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA Date: 09.02.2026 ARR 5 152 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA WRIT PETITION NO: 21468/2025 Date: 09.02.2026 ARR
