Tara Devi Kelanka & Anr vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors on 19 February, 2009<\/div>\n
         IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI.\n                    W.P. (C) No. 5150 of 2008\n                                 ...\n<\/pre>\n

         C.A.V. on 27.01.2009             Pronounced on 19.02.2009<\/p>\n
               Petitioners in this writ application have challenged the order
\n         dated 09.09.2008 passed by the Sub-Judge-II, Dhanbad in Title (M)
\n         Suit No. 87 of 1993 whereby the petitioners’ prayer for an order of
\n         injunction restraining the Respondent No. 1 from putting the
\n         petitioners’ properties on auction sale and from encashing the
\n         cheques obtained from the petitioners, was rejected.\n<\/p>\n
         2.    Facts of the case lie in narrow compass and stated briefly are
\n         as follows :-\n<\/p>\n
               The Respondent No. 1 namely the State Bank of India had
\n         filed a suit against the present petitioners\/defendants on 22.05.1993
\n         before the Court below for a decree for recovery of a sum of Rs.
\n         1,14,384.92 from the defendants. The claim related to the loan
\n         borrowed by the defendants from the plaintiff Bank and the same
\n         was sought to be recovered as the outstanding dues assessed by the
\n         plaintiff from the defendants.\n<\/p>\n
               The petitioners\/defendants had appeared in the suit and had
\n         filed their written statements denying and disputing the claim of the
\n         plaintiff. Defendant Nos. 3 and 4 filed a counter claim against the
\n         plaintiff Bank in the aforesaid suit for a sum of Rs. 4,93,045.19.\n<\/p>\n
               The proceedings in the suit had almost reached the stage of
\n         final argument, but before that, the respondent Bank had initiated
\n         measures under the provisions of Securitisation and Reconstruction
\n         of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act<\/a>, 2002
\n                             -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
(Securitisation Act), firstly, by issuing a demand notice to the
\ndefendants to pay the outstanding dues and 60 days thereafter, by
\nissuing a notice dated 26.06.2008 to the defendants informing them
\nthat the Bank had taken over possession of the properties secured
\nagainst the debts, with an intent to sell the same for realization of its
\ndues, under the provisions of Section 13(4) of the Securitisation Act.\n<\/p>\n
      During     the   pendency     of   the   suit,   considering   the
\napprehensions expressed by the parties, the learned Court below
\nhad passed an order of injunction on 25.05.1999 restraining the
\nDefendant No. 4 from selling away or transferring in any manner
\nthe part of the suit property which was in his possession and
\ncustody.\n<\/p>\n
      On receipt of the notice dated 26.06.2008 under Section 13(4)
\nof the Securitisation Act the petitioners\/defendants, filed a petition
\npraying for an order of injunction restraining the plaintiff Bank from
\ninterfering with the order of injunction as passed by the Trial Court
\non 25.05.1999. Such prayer was made on the ground that by
\nproceeding to take possession of the suit property and with the
\nintention of selling away the property for realization of its purported
\ndues, the plaintiff Bank was in fact proposing to change the status of
\nthe suit property and such act on the part of the plaintiff Bank
\nwould amount to violation of the order of injunction passed by the
\nCourt.\n<\/p>\n
      The defendants prayer was contested by the plaintiff Bank on
\nthe ground that the plaintiff’s act of taking possession of the suit
\nproperty was in lawful exercise of its authority under Section 13(4)
\nof the Securitisation Act and further, that the suit property was
\nnever transferred to the custody of the Court and had, for all
\npractical purposes, remained in the custody of the Defendant No. 4
\nand in terms of the conditions of loan availed by the defendants, the
\nplaintiff Bank had every right to take possession of the suit property
\nand sell the same for realization of its outstanding dues from the
\ndefendants and if the prayer of the defendants for an order of
\ninjunction against the plaintiff Bank is allowed, it would amount to
\ninterfering with the powers of the Bank under the Securitisation Act.\n<\/p>\n
                             -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
3.    The learned Court below vide its impugned order, had
\nrejected the defendants’ prayer for injunction on the ground that it
\nhas no jurisdiction to entertain any petition filed against the action
\ntaken by the plaintiff Bank under the Securitisation Act as per the
\nprohibition under the provisions of Section 34<\/a> of the Act.\n<\/p>\n
4.    The petitioners\/defendants have challenged the aforesaid
\norder of the learned Court below. Assailing the impugned order,
\nShri Amit Kumar Das, learned counsel for the petitioners would
\nargue that since admittedly the plaintiff Bank had not initiated any
\naction whatsoever before the Debt Recovery Tribunal or the
\nappellate tribunal, the learned Court below could not have relied
\nupon the provisions of Section 34 of the Securitisation Act to reject
\nthe petitioners prayer for injunction. Learned counsel argues further
\nthat during the pendency of the suit, an order of injunction was
\npassed by the learned Court below restraining the Respondent No. 4
\nfrom disposing of the suit property in his possession. Such order,
\naccording to learned counsel, amounts the property being custodia-
\nlegis becoming the custody legacy and therefore, the attempt on the
\npart of the plaintiff\/Respondent No. 1 to take possession and to
\ndispose of the property, would amount not only to violation of the
\norder of injunction passed by the Court, but would also amount to
\nfrustrating the counter claim of the petitioners\/defendants raised by
\nthem in the suit against the plaintiff Bank. Learned counsel would
\nthereafter want to refer to the various issues raised in the suit on the
\nbasis of the rival pleadings of the parties and would attempt to
\nemphasize     that    the   plaintiff   Bank’s    suit   against    the
\npetitioners\/defendants is totally misconceived and not maintainable
\nand the plaintiff bank has no authority to realise any sum of money
\nfrom the defendants as claimed in the suit.\n<\/p>\n
5.    The questions as raised by the petitioners in this writ
\napplication are :-\n<\/p>\n
      (i)    Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the
\n             learned Court below could have relied upon the
\n             provisions of Section 34 of the Securitisation Act to
\n                            -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
             reject the prayer of the petitioners\/defendants for an
\n             order of injunction against the plaintiff Bank ?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      (ii)   Whether the act of the Respondent No. 1 Bank in
\n             proceeding to take possession of the suit properties for
\n             the purpose of recovering its outstanding dues from the
\n             defendants, under the provisions of Section 13(4) of the
\n             Securitisation Act, would amount to violation of the
\n             order of injunction passed by the Trial Court in the suit?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
6.    From     the     facts     of   the   case,   admittedly,    the
\npetitioners\/defendants had borrowed money from the respondent
\nBank by way of loan. Against the loan advanced, certain specific
\nproperties of the defendants\/petitioners were secured creating a
\ncharge over the properties in favour of the Bank. Under the terms of
\nagreement of loan, the Bank did have the authority to realize its
\ndues from the borrower by taking possession of the secured assets of
\nthe borrower and selling the same.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      On the ground that the defendants\/borrowers had not
\ndischarged their liability inspite of repeated demand notices, the
\nBank had filed a suit before the Court below on 22.05.1993 for
\nrealization of the outstanding dues from the defendants under the
\nprovisions of the Civil Procedure Code.\n<\/p>\n
      During the pendency of the suit, an order of injunction was
\npassed by the Trial Court restraining the Defendant No. 4 from
\ndisposing of the suit property under his possession and custody,
\nduring the pendency of the suit.\n<\/p>\n
      The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and
\nEnforcement of Security Interest Act (Securitisation Act<\/a>) came into
\nforce in the year 2002. Under the Act<\/a>, special provisions were
\ncreated relating to recovery of debts by the secured creditors
\nsubjecting the contract between the parties to be governed by the
\nstatutory provisions under the Act. It would, therefore, appear that
\nthere is an element of election which would enable the secured
\ncreditor to choose between the different modes and forums for
\nrecovering its dues.\n<\/p>\n
                            -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
      Section 13 of the Securitisation Act gives a right to the secured
\ncreditor to enforce the security interest without the intervention of
\nthe Court or Tribunal. The provisions of Sub Section 2<\/a> and Sub
\nSection 4 of Section 13 of the Act lay down procedure according to
\nwhich the secured creditor may proceed to enforce the security
\ninterest. Sub Section 4 of Section 13 of the Act enables the secured
\ncreditor to take possession of the secured assets of the borrowers
\nincluding the right of transfer by way of lease, assignment or sale for
\nrealizing the secured assets.\n<\/p>\n
      Section 34<\/a> of the Act lays down that no Civil Court shall have
\nthe jurisdiction to entertain any suit or proceeding in respect of any
\nmatter which a Debt Recovery Tribunal or an Appellate Tribunal is
\nempowered by or under the Act to determine and no injunction
\nshall be granted by any Court or other authority in respect of any
\naction taken or to be taken in pursuance of any power conferred by
\nor under this Act or under the Recovery of Debts Due to Bank and
\nFinancial Institutions Act, 1993.\n<\/p>\n
      The facts which are undisputed, do categorically declare that
\nthe plaintiff Bank has proceeded to exercise its powers under the
\nprovisions of Section 13 of the Securitisation Act by resorting to the
\npreliminary steps of issuance of notice to the defendants\/borrowers
\nunder Section 13(2)<\/a> of the Act followed by a notice under Section
\n13(4)<\/a> of the Act for taking possession of the secured assets of the
\nborrowers. Under such circumstances, as rightly held by the learned
\nCourt below, the provisions of Section 34<\/a> of the Act would prohibit
\nthe Court below from passing any order which would amount to
\nrestrain or injunct the Bank from taking any action for realization of
\nits outstanding dues from the borrower, in pursuance of the powers
\nconferred to the Bank under the Securitisation Act. This answers the
\nfirst question.\n<\/p>\n
7.    Coming to the second question, the contention of the
\npetitioner is that the order of injunction restraining the Defendant
\nNo. 4 from disposing the suit property in his possession during the
\npendency of the suit, amounts to the property coming under the
\ncustody of the Court. On a plain reading of the order of injunction, it
\n                                              -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
                  would be manifest that the Trial Court had merely restrained the
\n                  Defendant No. 4 from alienating the suit property in his possession
\n                  and custody. The order does no more indicate or suggest that the
\n                  Court had indicated thereby to take possession of the suit property
\n                  under its custody. The possession and custody of the property has
\n                  been left with the Defendant No. 4 though right to alienate the
\n                  property has been restricted only till the pendency of the suit. Under
\n                  such circumstances, since the property continues to remain in the
\n                  possession and custody of the Defendant No. 4, the plaintiff Bank
\n                  had the authority to take possession of the property in exercise of its
\n                  right under the provisions of Section 13(4) of the Securitisation Act.
\n                  Considering the fact of pendency of the suit before the Court below,
\n                  the Bank would be obliged to intimate the Trial Court regarding its
\n                  act of taking over possession and to obtain due permission from the
\n                  Trial Court before proceeding to sell the secured assets of the
\n                  defendants for realization of its outstanding dues.\n<\/p>\n
                        The mere act of taking possession of the secured assets by the
\n                  plaintiff Bank, does not thereby amount to violation of the order of
\n                  injunction of the Trial Court. The second question is answered
\n                  accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
                  8.    In the light of the above discussion, I do not find any merit in
\n                  this writ application. Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                   (D.G.R.Patnaik, J.)
