claiming to be affixation of possession notice on the secured property, does not convince that the respondent bank complied with the procedure under Rule 8(1) of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules,2002 in affixing the possession notice on the secured property. Thephotographplaced atpage 17 of the material paper clalming to be the affixture ofpossession notice, shows a person displaying Sakshi newspaper in front of a residence presumed to be the SA schedule property. It is needless to emphasise, Rule B(1) of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002, stipulates that the authorised officer shall take or cause to betaken possession,by delivering a possession noticeprepared as nearly aspossiblein Appendix- IV to the rules to the borrower and byaffixing thepossession notice on the outer door or at such conspicuousplace of the immovableproperty. Thus, thisprovision casts atwo pronged duty on the secured creditor. The first one is to deliverthe possession notice to the borrower and the second is to affixthe same on the outer door or at theconspicuousplace of the immovable property. In thecase onhand, respondentbank took aplea that thepossessionnotice sent by registered post has since been returned undelivered byplacing on record Photostat copies ofpostal registrationreceiptsand returned covers. Taking into considerationthese material papers, it is to be considered that firstpart the provision of Rule8(1) has been complied with by the respondent bank.However, comingto the 2"d part of theprovision i.e.,affixture of possessionnoticeon the outer door or atsuch conspicuousplace of the lmmovable property remained wanting on thepart of therespondent bank. Therefore, lt cannot be said that therespondent bank complied Rule 8(1) of the SecurityInterest (EnforcAqent)Rules, 2002in /tW'^* / / / -\d'e ' t)/
