2.The employer/associate or somebody who knows the sister of the accused has been categorized as the second accused in a prosecution launched by CBI. The accused No.1 & 3 were officials of the respondent Bank. The said prosecution related to furnishing of document to obtain loan to the value of Rs.5 Crores from the respondent herein. The trial Court had convicted all the three accused. This Court, in appeal, had confirmed the same. The petitioner claims innocence and ignorance of all those transaction and seeks indulgence of this Court.

The sale notice had not been challenged by the petitioner. The father of the petitioner had challenged the sale notice by filing S.A.No.299 of 2011 and the same had also been dismissed on

4.The Hon'ble Suprme Court in T.Arivandandam Vs. T.V. Satyapal and another, reported in 1977 AIR 2421, had commented upon vexatious litigation, more particularly, re-litigation and re-agitation of the same issues. In that particular case, an eviction order had been passed against the father. The matter had travelled upto Hon'ble Supreme Court. It was confirmed and thereafter, the son again filed a suit and the Hon'ble Supreme Court had said that such litigation should be nipped in the bud.

5.In the case on hand, the respondent had initiated action under SARFAESI Act and matters are pending before the competent Court. The present writ petition has no nexus to stand. We are not inclined to entertain this writ petition.
