https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198803 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act is an enabling measure for assistance in taking possession of secured assets and does not require the secured creditor to first obtain a decree from a civil court or the DRT. The statutory process under Sections 13(2), 13(3-A) and 13(4) governs enforcement, and Section 14 operates only as administrative aid. In a non-metropolitan area, the request under Section 14(1) must be made to the District Magistrate, because the provision names that authority and cannot be read as substituting the Chief Judicial Magistrate. The competent forum therefore depends on the territorial setting fixed by the statute. en-us Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 13:27:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198803 Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act is an enabling measure for assistance in taking possession of secured assets and does not require the secured creditor to first obtain a decree from a civil court or the DRT.
