There is no representation on behalf of the petitioners. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent/bank submits that questioning the order passed in Crl.Misc.No.4680/2025 dated 21.08.2025 by the XXX Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court at Bengaluru, the petitioners have approached the Debt Recovery Tribunal that is numbered as Diary No.3311/2025. It is submitted that in that an interim order was granted on 05.12.2025 to deposit an amount of Rs.1,00,00,000/- on or before 30.12.2025. Challenging the said order of the DRT, the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1324 WP No. 30235 of 2025 petitioners have filed W.P.No.246/2026 before this Court. It is further submitted that the said writ petition was disposed of on 08.01.2026 and the Court had granted a weeks’ time to comply with the interim order passed by the Debt Recovery Tribunal. 4. Having heard the learned counsel for the respondent/bank, perused the material on record. In the light of the fact that already the order passed by the Magistrate is questioned before the Debt Recovery Tribunal and the Debt Recovery Tribunal had also passed an order. Hence, nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. In that view of the matter, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous giving liberty to the petitioners to pursue the matter pending before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. ii. All I.As., in the writ petition shall stand closed. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE BN/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 15
