SA 187/13
(10.30. A.M.)
30/3/2015
Orders pronounced.
IA 441/15: This petition has been filed by the petitioner /applicant to stay
all further proceedings in pursuance to the sale notice dated 26.2.2015 and the
e.auction sale which is fixed on 30.3.2015.
The petitioners have challenged the impugned sale notice on the ground
that the property in question has been undervalued and the auction sale notice
has not been published in vernacular language and the EMD amount is less
than 10% of the principal amount. Apart from this, several other grounds have
been raised in this application. According to the petitioner, he could not
mobilize funds to comply with the earlier conditional order passed by this
Tribunal. It is yet another ground by which the impugned auction sale notice is
challenged is that 30 days clear notice has not been given to the petitioner prior
to the auction, which is a violation of R.8(6) of the Security Interest
(Enforcement) Rules, 2002. It is the further contention of the Petitioner that the
R/Bank in collusion with real estate brokers, are attempting to sell the valuable
property for a throwaway price. It is on these grounds, the petitioner is seeking
stay of all further proceedings based upon the e.auction sale notice dated
26.2.2015.
The R/Bank while narrating all the previous proceedings and the
dismissal of the previous petitions and non-compliance of the orders passed by
this Tribunal, pleaded that the petitioner in collusion with real estate brokers
are trying to drag on the proceedings endlessly without making any payment
which are due from 2013 onwards. It is an admitted fact that the conditional
order in IA 90/14 and IA 1474/14 were not complied with and therefore, there
is no bona fides on the claims of the petitioners.
The Petitioner pleaded that the leave has been sought from this Tribunal
to sell the other properties in IAs 16/15 and 17/15 and this Tribunal, having
heard the matter ultimately dismissed the petitions and as against the dismissal
order an appeal has been preferred before the Hon’ble DRAT in MA 117/15,
118/15 and MA 119/15 has also been filed against the dismissal order passed
in IA 127/15. Admittedly, the proceedings are pending. This Tribunal in its
order in IA 437/15 in SA 53/15, has granted temporary injunction till the
disposal of the said SA on 27.3.2015. The description of the immovable property
found in the impugned auction sale notice is mentioned as Item No.1 in the
schedule property in IA 437/15 in SA 53/15. Therefore, the stay granted in IA
437/15 covered the properties mentioned in the impugned sale notice in this
proceedings also. Therefore, under the said circumstances, no order of stay is
required to be passed in this petition, since Item No.1 in the petition mentioned
properties in IA 437/15 and the properties mentioned in the schedule of
immovable property in the impugned auction sale notice are one and the same.
Hence, this petition has to be dismissed. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
No costs.
Call on 8.5.2015. C/w. SA 53/15 also by then.
