Court directs cooperative bank on property sale priorities to recover dues, restrictions on further legal actions
The court directed the cooperative bank to prioritize the sale of the first two properties listed in Schedule "B" to recover outstanding dues. If the liabilities persist after the sale of these properties, the bank was allowed to proceed with the sale of the fourth property. The petitioner must be informed before selling the fourth property to explore other options for clearing the remaining balance. The petitioner was prohibited from initiating new legal proceedings related to property sale without court permission to prevent further delays due to ongoing litigation. The judgment aimed to facilitate a fair resolution for both parties and ensure transparency in the recovery process.
Issues: Recovery of dues by a cooperative bank under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002; Sale of properties for debt recovery; Equitable treatment to the debtor in pending litigation.
Analysis: 1. The writ petition challenges the steps taken for recovery of dues by a cooperative bank under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. The petitioner expressed inability to make any deposit towards the dues, leading the court to consider concluding the recovery process promptly in the petitioner's interest.
2. The petitioner identified four properties for potential sale to clear the liabilities, with the third property already sold. It was argued that selling the first two properties could potentially eliminate the entire debt burden.
3. The bank's counsel highlighted that ongoing litigation deterred potential buyers from participating in property auctions, causing a delay in the recovery process.
4. Considering the circumstances, the court emphasized the importance of providing equitable treatment to the debtor and decided to end the litigation by facilitating a fair resolution for both parties.
5. The court directed the bank to prioritize the sale of the first two properties listed in Schedule "B" to recover the outstanding dues. If the liabilities persist after the sale of these properties, the bank was permitted to proceed with the sale of the fourth property. The petitioner must be informed before selling the fourth property to explore other options for clearing the remaining balance.
6. To prevent further delays due to litigation, the petitioner was prohibited from initiating any new legal proceedings related to property sale without court permission. This measure aimed to address the lack of interested buyers due to existing litigations surrounding the properties.
7. The judgment concluded by disposing of any pending applications related to the case, ensuring a clear directive for the recovery process and maintaining transparency in the debtor's involvement in clearing the outstanding liabilities.
