AI extract

Outcome

None; the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous after respondent Nos.3 to 6 vacated the premises on 08.08.2025, and there was no order as to costs.

Issue for consideration

Whether a Writ of Mandamus should be issued under Article 226 of the Constitution of India directing the respondents to put the petitioner (M/s. TRU Home Finance Limited, f/k/a M/s. Shriram Housing Finance Limited) back in possession of the secured asset pursuant to the order passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranipet dated 27.12.2024 in Crl.M.P.No.303 of 2024 filed under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act.

Court's answer

Since respondent Nos.3 to 6 had vacated the premises on 08.08.2025 according to the second respondent's status report, a factual statement which learned counsel for the petitioner did not dispute, the writ petition seeking restoration of possession of the secured asset has become infructuous; the Court therefore disposed of the petition as such, with no order as to costs.
