Pankaj Paul Vs. The United Bank of India and Another

Court: Guwahati

Decided on: Mar-10-2014

A.M. Sapre, CJ. Heard Mr. A. R. Sikdar, learned counsel for the petitioner. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and upon perusal of the record of the case, in our considered view, the proper remedy of the petitioner appears to be to approach the respondent Nos.1/2 United Bank of India, Silchar Branch, Silchar and submit a proper representation to enable them to take a decision on the same keeping in view the prayer made by the petitioner for liquidating their loan liability arising out of the loan transaction.

Decided on: Mar-10-2014

A.M. Sapre, C.J. 1. Heard Mrs. P. Chakrabotry, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P.K. Kalita, learned counsel for the respondents. It is brought to our notice that the matter which is subject matter of this petition is also the subject matter of O.A. No.32 of 2013 along with Misc. Application No.71 of 2013 before the Debts Recovery Tribunal at Guwahati between the parties to this writ petition. It is also brought to our notice that the matter is now at a stage of hearing and final arguments are also heard by the Tribunal in the said original application/miscellaneous application. If that be so, then in our opinion there is no point in keeping this matter pending because all the points are already being adjudicated by the Tribunal in a regularly filed application under the provisions of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. In a situation like the one, we are inclined to dispose of this petition without express...
