Heard Mrs. P.Kavitha, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner and

Mr. P.T.Rakesh, Learned Counsel, who takes notice for the Respondents and

perused the materials placed on record, apart from the pleadings of the parties.

¶23

The Petitioner had mortgaged its properties for the loans to the extent of Rs. 6,81,94,00,000/- that had been obtained from the Respondents and had made representation dated 18.11.2022 to grant 'No Objection' certificate to take over the business concern of the Petitioner by one M/s. Vintage Agro Foods Private Limited. The said representation was rejected by Order No. TIIC/ DHARMAPURI BRANCH/2022-2023 dated 21.11.2022 passed by the Second Respondent expressing inability to accept the same in view of chronic default/NPA status of loans and action already taken under Section 29 of the

State Financial Corporations Act, 1951. The said order is challenged in this

¶28

Writ Petition.

¶29

In the absence of paying the entire dues by the Petitioner to the Respondents, there does not appear to be any infirmity in the impugned order passed by the Second Respondent refusing to grant 'No Objection' certificate for the said M/s. Vintage Agro Foods Private Limited to take over the business of the Petitioner warranting interference by the Court in the exercise of discretionary powers of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution. It is needless to add here that the Petitioner is not precluded from seeking fresh 'No Objection' certificate on payment of the entire dues to the Respondents.

¶30

In fine, the Writ Petition is dismissed with the aforesaid observations.

¶31

Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. No costs.
