City Union Bank Limited v. Gnanathamilarasi
Case brief
What is this about?
The Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal set aside the impugned orders of the DRT which allowed a bank's securitisation applications and directed restoration of possession to borrowers. The Tribunal held that the DRT exceeded its powers under Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act by raising issues not pleaded and by restoring possession when the challenge was to the sale certificate.
What did the court decide?
Impugned orders in SA 11/2022 and SA 14/2022 dated 18.03.2023 were set aside; consequently, the Securitisation Applications were dismissed.
