Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, WRIT - C No. 6992 of 2025, order dated 10.3.2025; bench: Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Donadi Ramesh, JJ.; petitioner Bhagwan Singh v. State of U.P. and others; writ petition disputing liability in SARFAESI Act, 2002 proceedings not entertained; adjudication directed to Debt Recovery Tribunal under Section 17 SARFAESI Act, 2002; United Bank of India v. Satyawati Tondon & Ors., 2010 (8) SCC 110 relied on; petition consigned to records.
What did the court decide?
The Division Bench declined to entertain the writ petition because the underlying proceedings fall under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, and the proper forum for adjudicating the disputed liability is the Debt Recovery Tribunal under Section 17 of that Act; the view taken is stated to be in accord with United Bank of India v. Satyawati Tondon & Ors., 2010 (8) SCC 110.
