Issues: Whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is maintainable against a private asset reconstruction company in respect of measures taken under the SARFAESI Act.
Analysis: Relying on the principles stated by the Supreme Court, the Court held that a private financial institution or asset reconstruction company does not, by itself, perform a public function so as to attract writ jurisdiction. The existence of a statutory framework under the SARFAESI Act and the availability of remedies under that Act do not convert the private creditor into a writ-amenable authority. The Court also held that the petitioner could not seek interim protection in writ proceedings when the writ itself was not maintainable.
Conclusion: The writ petition was held to be not maintainable against the private respondent and the petitioner was left to pursue the appropriate remedy before the proper forum.
