Whether SARFAESI measures could be invoked against a borrower in Nagaland and in the absence of any mortgage/security interest was determined by holding that the Act's overriding clause in s.35 cannot prevail over the special constitutional protection under Art. 371A, and that SARFAESI enforcement presupposes creation of a security interest, which was undisputedly absent.
