V.R. Kingaonkar, J.1. Both the Second appeals are being disposed of by this common Judgment inasmuch as they arise out of common Judgment rendered by the First Appellate Court in two inter connected appeals (R.C.A. No. 107 of 1981 and R.C.A. No. 223 of 1981).2. Unfortunately no substantial question of law was formulated at the time of admission of the appeals nor any substantial question of law is indicated in the appeal Memo of either appeal. The Apex Court in 'B.C. Shivashankara v. B.R. Nagaraj AIR 2007 SCW 1588 observed:Sub-section (5) of Section 100 is applicable only when any substantial question of law has already been formulated and it empowers the High Court to hear, for reasons to be recorded, the appeal on any other substantial question of law.

S.J. Vazifdar, J.1. The petitioners have challenged the action of the respondent banks under the provisions of The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Securitisation Act') on merits, the applicability of the said Act to co-operative banks including those constituted under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act (hereinafter referred to as the MCS Act) and the constitutional validity of the said Act.2. There is little, if anything, to be said in favour of the petitioners on merits. They are debtors of the respondent co-operative banks and, prima-facie atleast, there appears to be no defence to the claim of the respondent banks on merits. The petitioners have however challenged the Constitutional validity of the Securitisation Act. In Mardia Chemicals Ltd. and Ors. v. Union of India and Ors. 2004(2) M.L.J. (SC) 1090 the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Securitisation...
