https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184735 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act is an execution mechanism, not an adjudicatory forum, so no general pre-decisional notice or hearing is required before a Magistrate passes an order. The affidavit safeguards introduced by amendment operate to verify factual correctness and prevent abuse, while natural justice is preserved at the stages expressly provided by the Act. An order under section 14(1) remains challengeable before the Debts Recovery Tribunal under section 17, and section 14(3) does not bar that statutory remedy. The secured creditor or its authorised officer cannot use force to dispossess the borrower or occupier; any necessary force may be used only by the Magistrate in aid of the section 14 process. en-us Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:02:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184735 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act is an execution mechanism, not an adjudicatory forum, so no general pre-decisional notice or hearing is required before a Magistrate passes an order.
