Mr. Mukherjee, learned Advocate appearing for the respondent financial institution, submits that the amount proposed for settlement by the petitioner was not only late in forthcoming, but was also much below the amount demanded in the notice under Section 13(2) of the Securitization and Reconstruction of the Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as the “said Act”). 2 3.
