Issues: Whether the writ petition challenging measures taken under the SARFAESI Act was maintainable in view of the alternative statutory remedy under Section 17.
Analysis: The petition challenged the classification of the account as non-performing asset and the consequential measures under Sections 13(2) and 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act. The Court held that these objections involved disputed questions of fact and accounting details, which could be effectively examined by the Debts Recovery Tribunal. It further held that the statutory appeal under Section 17 is an efficacious remedy, with power in the Tribunal to examine the measures taken and restore possession if the aggrieved party succeeds. In such matters, the High Court should ordinarily decline to exercise writ jurisdiction when a special statutory forum is available.
Conclusion: The writ petition was not maintainable and was rejected in view of the alternative remedy under Section 17.
Final Conclusion: The petitioner was required to pursue the statutory remedy before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, and the High Court declined to examine the merits of the dispute.
Ratio Decidendi: When an effective statutory remedy is available against SARFAESI measures, the High Court should ordinarily not entertain a writ petition under Article 226, especially where the dispute involves factual issues capable of determination by the statutory tribunal.
