The Court differed with judgments of the Supreme Court, where a lack of notification was held to be in violation of the principles of natural justice, as in the instant case the borrowers were not pre-mortgage lessees. It added, however, that the borrowers retained the right to have adjudicated whether a case for exercise of power had been made out in the application under Section 14 of the Act, 2002.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Section 14 SARFAESI Act, 2002 nActCompID=26278 Harshad Govardhan Sondagar vs. International Assets Reconstruction Company Ltd. and Ors. <manuid>MANU/SC/0377/2014</manuid> Mansa Synthetic Pvt.
