He had been authorised to conduct<br \/>\n        a readymade dress shop and due licence had  been  granted<br \/>\n        by the Corporation for the business.  Later on arrears of<br \/>\n        rent  fell  due  and  R.C.P.No.6  of  2004 had come to be<br \/>\n        filed, which resulted in an order for eviction.   Against<br \/>\n        the  said order, R.C.A.No.9 of 2005 had been filed by him<br \/>\n        and    the    First    Additional     District     Judge,<br \/>\n        Thiruvananthapuram in I.A.No.384 of 2005 in R.C.A.No.9 of<br \/>\n        2005 had  stayed  the  order  of  eviction.    It was not<br \/>\n        attempted to be vacated and the submission  was  that  by<br \/>\n        use  of  force  notwithstanding the above order (Ext.P4),<br \/>\n        forcible eviction was being attempted.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t3.\tPrima  facie  it  had  been  found  that   the<br \/>\n        petitioner was  entitled to an interim order.  This Court<br \/>\n        had  directed  respondents  1  and  2  to  give  adequate<br \/>\n        protection  to  ensure that his possession and occupation<br \/>\n        of the building is not interfered with at the instance of<br \/>\n        the third respondent or any strangers.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t4.\tThe third respondent  had  entered  appearance<br \/>\n        and  had  filed a counter affidavit and further requested<br \/>\n        that  the  interim  orders  were  to   be   appropriately<br \/>\n        modified.   Senior  Counsel Sri.S.V.S.Iyer, appearing for<br \/>\n        the  third   respondent,   especially   highlighted   the<br \/>\n        circumstance  that  making  use  of  the  interim  orders<br \/>\n        passed, in a most dishonest  manner  the  petitioner  had<br \/>\n        secured  further  orders  from the Rent Control Appellate<br \/>\n        Authority in I.A.No.2193 of 2005, even by impleading  the<br \/>\n        Circle  Inspector  of  Police,  Thiruvananthapuram  as an<br \/>\n        additional respondent to the proceedings  and  had  upset<br \/>\n        the continued  possession  of  the  landlord.  He further<br \/>\n        submitted that the writ petition  was  not  maintainable.<br \/>\n        This  Court  has  been  taken  astray,  as  the  full and<br \/>\n        relevant facts have not been  brought  to  its  attention<br \/>\n        when  the  matter  came up for admission and the landlord<br \/>\n        has been inflicted with civil injury.   He  submits  that<br \/>\n        the  petitioner had a duty to present full facts and then<br \/>\n        only  could  have  made  a  request  for  exercising  the<br \/>\n        discretionary  jurisdiction, in proceedings under Article<br \/>\n        226 of the Constitution of India.  It is  submitted  that<br \/>\n        civil  suits and other proceedings are pending before the<br \/>\n        appropriate authorities and the short cut method employed<br \/>\n        by the petitioner was illegal.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t5.\tWe feel that the fuller details supplied to us<br \/>\n        do  indicate   that   the   petitioner   is   guilty   of<br \/>\n        indiscretion.    He   had   presented  the  facts  as  if<br \/>\n        high-handed action had been resorted to by the  landlord.<br \/>\n        Of course, the landlord was bound by interlocutory orders<br \/>\n        passed  by  the  Rent  Control Appellate Authority, which<br \/>\n        prohibited him from exercising  his  right  of  eviction.<br \/>\n        But   the   tenant  appears  to  have  been  divested  of<br \/>\n        possession  as  a  consequence  of  certain  independent,<br \/>\n        collateral proceedings only, unconnected with proceedings<br \/>\n        under the Rent Control Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t6.\tDocumentary  evidence had been supplied by the<br \/>\n        third respondent and the affidavit gives further details.<br \/>\n        It is submitted that Ext.P1 is a sham document and it did<br \/>\n        not govern the rental arrangements between  the  parties.<br \/>\n        Reliance  was placed on Ext.R3(a) dated 01-10-2001, which<br \/>\n        was an agreement on which parties had put on record their<br \/>\n        respective rights and liabilities and this was to  be  in<br \/>\n        operation for a period of six months from 01-10-2001.  He<br \/>\n        admits   that   the   arrangement   had  been  continuing<br \/>\n        thereafter,   but   there   was   heavy   default   which<br \/>\n        necessitated filing of a rent control petition and it had<br \/>\n        ended  in  a  decree  of  eviction,  although  an  appeal<br \/>\n        therefrom is pending.  It is  stated  that  although  the<br \/>\n        rental  arrangements  had  started from May 2001 onwards,<br \/>\n        there was no payment of Rs.5 lakhs as advance, and during<br \/>\n        the subsistence of the rental arrangement the  petitioner<br \/>\n        in  the  writ petition had requested the third respondent<br \/>\n        to stand as guarantor for  a  loan  from  Union  Bank  of<br \/>\n        India.   It  was for Rs.5 lakhs and the Bank required the<br \/>\n        landlord to create a mortgage  in  respect  of  the  shop<br \/>\n        room.   Security was consequently created by mortgage and<br \/>\n        deposit of title deed of the tenanted premises.  This was<br \/>\n        to oblige  the  tenant.    There  was  huge  default   in<br \/>\n        repayment  of  the loan amount and the Bank had initiated<br \/>\n        action  for  recovery  under   the   Securitisation   and<br \/>\n        Reconstruction  of  Financial  Assets  and Enforcement of<br \/>\n        Security Interest Act,  2002  (for  short  Securitisation<br \/>\n        Act).   Notices  had  been  issued by the Bank from July,<br \/>\n        2001 onwards and as  a  guarantor  the  third  respondent<br \/>\n        could not   have  evaded  from  responsibility.    It  so<br \/>\n        happened that the Bank had exercised  their  right  under<br \/>\n        the  Securitisation  Act and they had taken possession of<br \/>\n        the mortgaged  property  on  20-12-2004.    Ext.R3(d)  is<br \/>\n        produced in support thereof.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t7.\tBy  Ext.R3(d),  the tenant was required to pay<br \/>\n        up the entire dues, and as a measure in their discretion,<br \/>\n        at his request, possession of the property was  given  to<br \/>\n        him  by  the  Bank, recording his undertaking to hold the<br \/>\n        property under trust on behalf of the Bank to enable  him<br \/>\n        to  remit  the dues to the Bank latest by 5th of January,<br \/>\n        2005.  Such payments had not been there.  As reserved  by<br \/>\n        Ext.R3(d),   possession   was   taken  back  by  them  on<br \/>\n        07-05-2005.  From 20-12-2004  there  was  no  tenancy  in<br \/>\n        operation because of the impact of Securitisation Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t8.\tCounsel   for  the  third  respondent  further<br \/>\n        invited our attention to the notices issued by the  Union<br \/>\n        Bank  of  India proclaiming their possession as envisaged<br \/>\n        by the Securitisation Act  in  news  papers,  by  notices<br \/>\n        dated 14-05-2005.  It had been notified that the borrower<br \/>\n        as  well as the guarantor had failed to pay back the dues<br \/>\n        and  the  properties  had  been   taken   possession   on<br \/>\n        07-05-2005.    General   public  were  informed  that  no<br \/>\n        transactions in respect  of  the  properties  would  have<br \/>\n        bound the superior claims of the Bank.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t9.\tThe  petitioner could not have been considered<br \/>\n        as  in  possession  or  ownership   of   the   properties<br \/>\n        thereafter.   The  shop room was a valuable asset and the<br \/>\n        predicament of the third respondent was that  because  of<br \/>\n        the  default  committed by the petitioner, property would<br \/>\n        have been irrevocably lost to him.  The third respondent,<br \/>\n        according to him, had cleared  the  outstanding  dues  by<br \/>\n        remitting  Rs.6,72,000\/-  towards  the  loan  amount,  as<br \/>\n        guarantor.  The affidavit as also Ext.R3(g) indicate that<br \/>\n        a further sum of Rs.6,03,000\/- had been paid by the third<br \/>\n        respondent towards another loan  account  simultaneously,<br \/>\n        as  the  Bank  was utilising the opportunity to clear the<br \/>\n        dues not only of the petitioner, but also  his  relative,<br \/>\n        in  whose favour also the third respondent was considered<br \/>\n        as guarantor.  He had no other go than to shell  out  the<br \/>\n        money.    He  submits  that  the  Bank  had  handed  over<br \/>\n        possession of the property to him, and such possession is<br \/>\n        evidenced by Certificate dated 12-08-2005, copy of  which<br \/>\n        is marked as Ext.R3(h).\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t10.\tAccording  to  the  third respondent, the shop<br \/>\n        was empty as early as from January, 2005 onwards.   There<br \/>\n        were  efforts  taken  by the petitioner to interfere with<br \/>\n        his possession by breaking open the locks and  attempting<br \/>\n        to  place  goods in the shop room so as to make it appear<br \/>\n        that he  retained  control  over  the  properties.     On<br \/>\n        complaints   being  made,  police  had  given  the  third<br \/>\n        respondent sufficient  help.     It   was   after   these<br \/>\n        adventures that the petitioner had dishonestly moved this<br \/>\n        Court and   obtained   orders.     It  had  been  further<br \/>\n        misutilised by misrepresenting the Rent Control Appellate<br \/>\n        Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t11.\tThe version of the third respondent, as above,<br \/>\n        of course is controverted by the petitioner.  He  submits<br \/>\n        that  it was highly improbable that a landlord might have<br \/>\n        come to stand as guarantor for a  tenant.    It  is  also<br \/>\n        stated  that  the  third  respondent  has  not helped the<br \/>\n        relatives of the petitioner for securing loans,  for  any<br \/>\n        purposes,  and  the  claims as above are bereft of truth.<br \/>\n        He relied on Ext.P1 as an  authentic  document  and  also<br \/>\n        referred  to  pendency  of  another  suit between them as<br \/>\n        O.S.No.1005 of 2003 and  points  out  that  the  disputed<br \/>\n        questions could be more profitably adjudicated there.  It<br \/>\n        is  submitted  that there was no suppression, as alleged,<br \/>\n        and in any case the third respondent was bound by  Ext.P4<br \/>\n        order  of  the  Appellate Authority and he could not have<br \/>\n        any superior claims for possession,  as  their  relations<br \/>\n        were  governed  by  the  Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent<br \/>\n        Control) Act.  A short cut for eviction was impermissible<br \/>\n        and any eviction could have been brought  about  only  on<br \/>\n        the grounds  authorised  by  the statute.  These were the<br \/>\n        submissions in short.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t12.\tHowever,  it is difficult for us to accept the<br \/>\n        explanations of the petitioner to show that there was  no<br \/>\n        suppression of  relevant  facts.    In  retrospect it can<br \/>\n        safely be assumed that if this Court  had  been  supplied<br \/>\n        with  details,  as  have  now  come forth, the petitioner<br \/>\n        hardly  would  have  obtained  an  interlocutory   order,<br \/>\n        practically restoring him to possession, which he had not<br \/>\n        at the  relevant  time.  Necessarily the steps have to be<br \/>\n        retraced.  Because of the impact  of  the  Securitisation<br \/>\n        Act,  the tenant had lost the tenancy right, and the Bank<br \/>\n        had  come  to  full  possession,  which  had  even   been<br \/>\n        recognised  by  the  tenant,  in  the  course of the said<br \/>\n        proceedings.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t13.\tUnder Section 13(4) of the Securitisation Act,<br \/>\n        in case the borrower fails to  discharge  his  liability,<br \/>\n        the  secured  creditor  is authorised to take recourse to<br \/>\n        the measures stipulated by  the  section.    This  is  in<br \/>\n        recognition  of  the  provisions  of  the  Act  that  any<br \/>\n        security  interest  created  in  favour  of  the  secured<br \/>\n        creditor  may be enforced without the intervention of the<br \/>\n        Court or Tribunal.  Thus, a creditor is entitled to  take<br \/>\n        possession   of   the  secured  assets  of  the  borrower<br \/>\n        including  the  right  to  transfer  by  way  of   lease,<br \/>\n        assignment or  sale for realising the secured asset.  The<br \/>\n        right also includes taking over management of the secured<br \/>\n        assets by right to transfer by way of  lease,  assignment<br \/>\n        or sale.    The  appointment  of  a  person to manage the<br \/>\n        secured assets, the possession of which  has  been  taken<br \/>\n        over  by  the  secured  creditor  is  also  contemplated.<br \/>\n        Sub-section (6) also  lays  down  that  any  transfer  of<br \/>\n        secured  asset after taking possession thereof shall vest<br \/>\n        in the transferee all rights in, or in relation  to,  the<br \/>\n        secured  asset  transferred  as  if the transfer had been<br \/>\n        made by the owner of such secured asset.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t14.\tThe   only  circumstance  that  the  guarantor<br \/>\n        (third respondent herein) was the owner  of  the  secured<br \/>\n        asset need  not  saddle  him with any disability.  In any<br \/>\n        case, the Act does not provide for any such  restriction.<br \/>\n        By the operation of the section, the transfer brings with<br \/>\n        it  all the proprietary rights that are usually available<br \/>\n        in respect of the holding.  Although it is  contended  by<br \/>\n        Sri.Jayakumar  that  so  far  as  a tenanted premises, to<br \/>\n        which provisions of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and  Rent<br \/>\n        Control)   Act  applies,  the  tenancy  could  have  been<br \/>\n        terminable only in the manner authorised by the said law,<br \/>\n        we do not think the above argument can have any relevance<br \/>\n        in view of section 35 of the  Securitisation  Act.    The<br \/>\n        provisions  of  the  Securitisation Act shall have effect<br \/>\n        notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained<br \/>\n        in any other law for the time being in force.  In respect<br \/>\n        of transactions governed by the said Act, the  overriding<br \/>\n        provisions   effectively   nullify  the  rights  normally<br \/>\n        admissible even to a tenant, as available under the  Rent<br \/>\n        Control  Act,  as  it  can be only subservient to a later<br \/>\n        Central enactment.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t15.\tThe   Rules   under   the  Securitisation  Act<br \/>\n        extensively deal with the  procedure  to  be  adopted  in<br \/>\n        respect of  sale  of  immovable  assets.  Although in the<br \/>\n        present case, after publication of notice,  there  was  a<br \/>\n        settlement of debts and further proceedings for sale were<br \/>\n        not  required  to be followed, it cannot be disputed that<br \/>\n        the Bank in law came to possession of  the  property  and<br \/>\n        such  rights,  including possession, had been handed over<br \/>\n        to the landlord on payment of  defaulted  amounts.    The<br \/>\n        contention of the petitioner is that he was in possession<br \/>\n        all through  out.  But it is not found as one submission,<br \/>\n        which could  be  countenanced.    Naturally,  he  is  not<br \/>\n        therefore  entitled to police protection for preservation<br \/>\n        of any  imaginary  rights.    Although  we  can   foresee<br \/>\n        possibility   of   misuse   of  such  provisions  in  the<br \/>\n        Securitisation Act, in the distant horizon, at  least  in<br \/>\n        this  case, we have nothing worthwhile to assume that the<br \/>\n        landlord was employing any circuitous methodology.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t16.\tNormally, after vacating the  interim  orders,<br \/>\n        the writ  petition  was to be dismissed.  But, as pointed<br \/>\n        out by the senior counsel, further orders had come to  be<br \/>\n        passed  by  the  Rent Control Appellate Authority, on the<br \/>\n        strength of the interim orders passed by this  Court,  in<br \/>\n        I.A.No.2193 of 2005 on 06-09-2005.  It essentially has to<br \/>\n        be noticed.    We  feel  that  follow  up  directions are<br \/>\n        required to be made.  On receipt of a certified  copy  of<br \/>\n        this  judgment, the landlord will be entitled to move the<br \/>\n        said Authority praying for appropriate orders,  that  may<br \/>\n        be  necessary,  and  orders  are  to  be  passed  by  the<br \/>\n        Appellate Authority on the application  so  filed  within<br \/>\n        one   week   from   the   date  of  presentation  of  the<br \/>\n        application, duly taking notice of the observations  made<br \/>\n        by  us,  and especially that the writ petition itself was<br \/>\n        misconceived and irregular.\n<\/p>\n<p>        \t17.\tOn the facts of the case, we feel that we have<br \/>\n        to stretch our jurisdiction at least to some  extent,  so<br \/>\n        as  to  ensure that process of the Court are not misused.<br \/>\n        We do not think that the third respondent is to be  again<br \/>\n        subjected  to  the  disability  of  challenging orders in<br \/>\n        I.A.No.2193  of  2005  by  fresh  proceedings,  and   the<br \/>\n        direction,  as  above,  is  intended to short circuit the<br \/>\n        formalities.  We direct the first  respondent  to  ensure<br \/>\n        that,  if  necessary, police protection is granted to the<br \/>\n        third respondent to regain his possession,  after  orders<br \/>\n        are  passed  by the Appellate Authority in consequence to<br \/>\n        this judgment.  The third respondent will be entitled  to<br \/>\n        Rs.1000\/(Rupees one thousand only) as costs.<br \/>\n        \tThe writ petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>.JN<\/p>\n<p>        \t\t\t       (M.RAMACHANDRAN, JUDGE)@@<br \/>\n           AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<\/p>\n<p>        \t\t\t        (M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE)@@<br \/>\n                   AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n        mks\/<\/p>\n<p>((HDR 0<\/p>\n<p>))<br \/>\n.HE 4<br \/>\n.PA<br \/>\n&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;T&#8230;&#8230;.T&#8230;&#8230;.L&#8230;&#8230;.T&#8230;&#8230;.T&#8230;&#8230;.T&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.J&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br \/>\n.SP 1<\/p>\n<p>                                (M.RAMACHANDRAN &amp; S.SIRI JAGAN, JJ)@@<br \/>\n                               jAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\n<\/p>\n<p>                               &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n.JN<\/p>\n<p>                                    O.P.NO.
