Issues: Whether the secured creditor can seek assistance under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 to take physical possession of secured assets even after a sale certificate has been issued in favour of the auction purchaser.
Analysis: The Act empowers the secured creditor, after default, to take possession of secured assets under Section 13(4), transfer them under Section 13(6), and seek the Magistrate's assistance under Section 14 for taking possession. The Court held that Section 14 cannot be read in isolation and must be interpreted along with the scheme of Sections 13 and 17 and Rules 8 and 9 of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002. The distinction between symbolic possession and physical possession was held to have no controlling significance in the statutory scheme. The issuance of a sale certificate does not extinguish the secured creditor's right to obtain actual possession where the borrower or occupier continues in de facto possession, and a purposive interpretation is required to advance the Act's object of speedy recovery and effective enforcement of security interest.
Conclusion: The application under Section 14 was maintainable, and the secured creditor was entitled to take physical possession notwithstanding the issuance of the sale certificate.
