Bombay High Court (A.S. Chandurkar & M.M. Sathaye, JJ.; 28 January 2025) disposed of, as not entertained, three writ petitions (Writ Petition Nos. 950, 952 and 955 of 2025) filed by Union Bank of India (through its Authorized Officer, and another) challenging the refusal to grant circulation of praecipes for consideration of interim applications praying for expeditious hearing of the appeals preferred by respondent Manju Agarwal before the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal. As the interim applications remained pending before the Tribunal (next date of proceedings 7 March 2025), the Bench held it open to the petitioners to pursue them on that date, and directed that any request for expeditious hearing made there would be considered in accordance with law. All issues on merits were expressly kept open; no statute or precedent was cited or relied upon.
