The 1993 Act confines the Tribunal's jurisdiction to bank and financial institution recovery applications, and section 31 allows transfer only of specified pending cases already within the statutory scheme; it does not permit transfer of an independent civil suit from another court. The Tribunal is not a civil court, and the Code of Civil Procedure does not supply a general transfer power or expand Tribunal jurisdiction. Article 142 also cannot be used to rewrite the statute, enlarge jurisdiction, or deprive a litigant of substantive and appellate rights. en-us Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 31 May 2019 14:05:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=164795 A civil suit cannot be transferred to a Debt Recovery Tribunal unless the statute expressly authorises it.
