¶9

Learned counsel for the appellant prays for interim relief, i.e. stay of proceedings before the learned Recovery Officer. He states that in the R.C. proceedings the Recovery Officer is insisting upon filing affidavit of satisfaction along with calculation sheet of recovery as per the modified R.C. issued by the learned Presiding Officer and the matter is now listed before him on 03.09.2022. The learned counsel states that he had informed and requested the learned Recovery Officer not to insist upon the above direction for the reason that appeal is pending before DRAT and judicial propriety demands that he should not proceed further with the R.C. The learned Recovery Officer has, however rejected his submission, stating that no stay order has been passed by the DRAT. Learned counsel, therefore, prays for issuance of restraint order.

¶10

The learned counsel for the respondent, on the other hand, objects to the granting of any interim relief and states that the learned DRT has rightly decided the O.A. and, therefore, no direction needs to be issued to the Recovery Officer.

¶11

Learned counsel for appellant states at bar that even the bank is not going to take any action against the respondent so long as this appeal is pending before this Tribunal.

¶12

-: 2 :-

¶13

In view of above, it will be in the interest of justice to direct the Recovery Officer not to insist that the bank should file affidavit of satisfaction and calculation sheet of recovery as per the modified R.C. till the next date of hearing before this Tribunal.
