Holding
A writ petition challenging a SARFAESI Act possession order is not maintainable where the order is already executed and the petitioner has an alternate remedy under the Act.
Summary
The petitioner, Sajid Aliahmad Shaikh, challenged a physical possession order dated 30 January 2026 issued under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act against him by ICICI Home Finance Ltd. The auction purchaser’s counsel argued that the possession had been taken and the borrowers subsequently trespassed, prompting a separate writ petition. The Court observed that the petitioner had an alternate remedy available under the SARFAESI Act and noted that the possession order had already been implemented. Consequently, the Court was not inclined to entertain the petition and dismissed it. The interim application filed alongside the petition was also disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition challenging a physical possession order under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act can be entertained when the order has already been implemented and an alternate remedy exists.
