Respondents Prayer : Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the Hon’ble Debt Recovery Tribunal - II, Chennai, to expeditiously dispose of the pending Securitisation Application No.479 of 2023, filed by the 3rd Respondent, within a time frame to be fixed by this Honble Court. For Petitioner : Mrs.Revathi Manivannan ORDER (Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) This petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a direction to the Debts Recovery Tribunal-II, Chennai, to take up and dispose of S.A.No.479 of 2023, within a time frame fixed by this Court. __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.28382 of 2026 2. We have gone through the order sheets placed on record and find that the case is progressing. Any direction to expedite a specific case out of turn would disrupt the board of the Tribunal. Petitioner has failed to demonstrate any exceptional circumstance that distinguishes its case from other litigants waiting in queue before the Tribunal. The Tribunal should prioritize cases based on their seniority, nature of urgency and statutory mandate. It is empowered to regulate its procedure and accelerate hearings if a genuine case of urgency is made out. Issuing blanket direction for quick disposal would put undue pressure on the Tribunal and, consequently, the persons who approached the Tribunal earlier would be left at a disadvantaged position. 3. We are, therefore, not inclined to give such a direction to decide the case within a time frame. However, petitioner would be at liberty to file appropriate application before the Tribunal to expedite the hearing. __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.28382 of 2026 4. With the aforesaid liberty, the writ petition stands disposed of.
