K.Rajeshkanna v. The District Collector
Case brief
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court disposed of a writ petition by the petitioner challenging a proceeding under the SARFAESI Act. The court held that since the bank relinquished the application with the District Collector to pursue it before the Chief Judicial Magistrate under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act, the prayer in the petition did not survive.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is disposed of as the prayer does not survive given the bank's shift in forum to the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
