Md. Anish Ali and 6 Ors v. Assam Gramin Vikash Bank and 4 Ors

ORDER Date : 06.02.2024

¶1The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioners submitted that in view of the provisions of Section 17 of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (for short "the Act of 2002"), the Petitioners would be well advised to approach the jurisdictional Debt Recovery Tribunal rather than pursue the instant proceedings. He therefore submitted that the Petitioners may be permitted to withdraw the Page No.# 4/4 instant writ petition without prejudice to their rights and claims and the period during which the instant proceedings have been pending be excluded while computing the period of limitation.

¶2This Court has duly taken note of the submissions so made and from a perusal of the orders which have been passed, it reveals that the Petitioners have been bonafidely pursuing their remedies under this proceedings. Be that as it may, the dispute involved in the instant proceedings can be decided in a proceedings under Section 17 of the Act of 2002 and as such, this Court closes the instant writ petition on withdrawal and grants the liberty to the Petitioners to approach the jurisdictional Debt Recovery Tribunal.

¶3It is also observed that as the Petitioners have been bonafidely litigating the instant proceedings since 17.06.2020, the period from 17.06.2020 till date be excluded while computing the period of limitation. It is also observed that the withdrawal of the instant writ petition shall not prejudice the writ petitioners in their rights and claims over the property in question before the Debt Recovery Tribunal.
