(b) To issue any other suitable writ or order or direction which this Hon'ble Court deems fit in the circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice. 3. Suffice it to note that the petitioner purchased the scheduled property in E-auction conducted by the Kotak Mahindra Bank and sale certificate was issued on 28.09.2024. The petitioner's grievance is that despite the sale certificate, respondent No.4 has not entered the same in Book No.1 and has failed to register. The law is settled by the Apex Court that the mandate of law in terms of Section 17 (2) (xii) read with Section 89 (4) of the Registration Act, 1908, only required the authorized officer of the Bank under the SARFAESI Act to hand over the duly validated sale certificate to the auction purchaser with a copy forwarded to the registering authorities to be filed in Book No.1 as per Section 89 of the Registration Act. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010510232026 NC: 2026:KHC:41430 WP No. 23155 of 2026 Under these circumstances, this Court deems it proper to direct respondent No.4 to make necessary entry in Book No.1 and register the sale certificate in terms of Section 89 of the Registration Act. 4. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (JYOTI M) JUDGE SS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 4
