Jawahar Singh and Ors. v. The United Bank of India and Ors. - (High Court of Calcutta) (06 Aug 2015)

No right of representation for borrowers in proceedings by lender seeking assistance to take possession

MANU/WB/0653/2015

Company

In an application by a creditor seeking assistance to take possession of the secured asset, under Section 14 SARFAESI Act, 2002, there is no requirement to put the borrower on notice that such an application has been made. 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.
