He submits that the petitioner has no knowledge or prior intimation about the said proceedings initiated by the respondent. The impugned notice vide Annexure-C suffers from infirmities, and the petitioner undertakes to clear the entire outstanding dues within six months. Hence, on these grounds, he prays to allow the writ petition. 5. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the respondent has filed a petition under Section 14 of the SARFEASI Act in Crl.Misc.No.123/2023 on the file of the learned III Additional Senior Civil Judge and CJM, Mysuru.

It is an undisputed fact that the petitioner obtained a loan of Rs.8,00,000/- from the respondent- Society. The petitioner failed to pay the EMI.
