It is forthcoming that the petitioner seeks to assail the condition imposed in the interim order dated 28.07.20261 passed in SA.No.337/2026 by the Debts Recovery Tribunal-2 Bengaluru2 (Annexure-A to the writ petition). The Tribunal vide impugned order had granted stay of the possession notice subject to the petitioner remitting a sum of `1,50,00,000/- in two installments i.e., `75,00,000/- on or before 30.08.2026 and the balance `75,00,000/- on or before 30.09.2026. The petitioner seeks relaxation of the said conditions vide the present writ petition. 3. It is the vehement contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that on an earlier occasion he had approached this Court and this Court had granted relief subject to deposit of certain amounts and permitted the petitioner to avail the remedies under the provisions of the Securitisation and 1 Hereinafter referred as to 'impugned order' 2 Hereinafter referred as to 'Tribunal' Digitally Signed by CHEPPUDIRA MONNAPPA POONACHA - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010654772026 NC: 2026:KHC:52798 WP No. 29959 of 2026 Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 20023 by approaching the Tribunal. Accordingly, the petitioner has filed SA.No.337/26 and approached the Tribunal, pursuant to which the impugned order is passed. 4. It is forthcoming from the impugned order that the amount outstanding is a sum of `8.86 crores. It is the contention of the petitioner that he had earlier made a payment of nearly `2 crores pursuant to the orders passed by this Court. However, the said contention is the aspect that the petitioner would urge before the Tribunal. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner further seeks for some time to pay the said amounts as well as liberty to approach the Tribunal to seek for relaxation of the payments. 6. In this context, it is pertinent to note that no liberty is required to be given by this Court to once again approach the Tribunal for relaxation of the conditions specified in the impugned order. It is also pertinent to note here that the impugned order was passed on 28.07.2026. Admittedly, the first installment of `75,00,000/- that was required to be paid on 30.08.2026 has not been paid.

It is ex-facie clear from the aforementioned that the initiation of the present proceedings itself is an abuse of the process of this Court and such proceedings are not to be entertained in exercise of the extraordinary discretionary jurisdiction of this Court contained in Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. (C.M. POONACHA) JUDGE PNV List No.: 1 Sl No.: 21 Digitally Signed by CHEPPUDIRA MONNAPPA POONACHA
