Facts of the Case

The Petitioner-company obtained a loan from a bank and pledged the relevant properties as collateral. Following that, the petitioner defaulted on repayment. As a result, the petitioner asked the bank to work with them and allow them to repay the debt in manageable instalments.

The Bank, on the other hand, had refused such a proposal and instead issued notices to the petitioner under Sections 13(2) and 13(4) of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002.

High Court Held

The petitioner, who was dissatisfied with the notices, filed a writ petition contesting them, and the High Court of Uttarakhand remarked that the petitioner had an effective alternative remedy in appealing the notices before the Debts Recovery Tribunal. As a result, the Single Judge was right in dismissing the petitioner’s writ petition.
