DATE : 22nd August 2016
P.C.:
The writ petitioners now before us are none other than the borrowers whose matter is pending before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT). The petitioners contend that the property in question was secured to another bank i.e. State Bank of Jaipur and Bikaner and the reserve price fixed at the time of auction is too low vis-a-vis the market price. It is noticed that the intervener is also before us contending that after satisfying the amount of the State Bank of Jaipur and Bikaner, the petitioners are not conveying the property in favour of the purchaser. Meanwhile, it is placed on record that the appeal before DRAT being

Misc.Appeal No.63/2014 is disposed of. In the light of disposal of the appeal, now, the DRT has to consider the status of the so called purchaser and decide whether there has to be a confirmation of the sale with the direction to convey the property to the purchaser or not. Since all these factual issues and the legal position have to be decided by DRT, we are of the opinion that nothing remains for us to consider in this matter.
