Bombay High Court
ASHOK SHANKAR PATILversusINDIAN BANK LTD AND ANR
Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution as the notices have been taken to their logical end.
Summary
The petitioner challenged sale notices issued in 2024 under the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002 and a physical possession notice dated 17 February 2026. No counsel appeared for either party. The court observed that the record showed the notices had been taken to their logical end and that no interim orders had been made. Because the petitioner failed to prosecute the petition, the court found no basis to entertain the challenge. Consequently, the petition was dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Issues considered
- Whether the sale notices issued under the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002 are valid and enforceable
- Whether the petitioner's failure to prosecute warrants dismissal of the writ petition
