https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187696 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act was treated as a procedural, ministerial provision: the District Magistrate's role is limited to assisting the secured creditor in taking possession of the secured asset and forwarding the asset and connected documents. The authority under that provision has no adjudicatory jurisdiction to decide disputes between the secured creditor and the debtor. Any challenge relating to the secured asset must be pursued through the statutory remedies under sections 13, 17 and 18 before the Debts Recovery Tribunal and the appellate forum, with section 34 excluding civil court intervention. An order rejecting a request under section 14 was therefore unsustainable. en-us Thu, 12 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:01:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187696 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act was treated as a procedural, ministerial provision: the District Magistrate's role is limited to assisting the secured creditor in taking possession of the secured asset and forwarding the asset and connected documents.
