                                    DATE       : 5th OCTOBER, 2026

                      P.C.:
                      1.      By the instant Writ Petition, the Petitioner, inter alia, seeks
                      the following substantive reliefs:-

                              “A.     That this Hon’ble Court be pleased to issue a Writ of Mandamus
                              or a Writ in the nature of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ,
                              direction or Order, directing the respondent No. 1 to register the sale
                              certificate dated 11.11.2024, without levying interest, penalty or fine
                              on the sale certificate.
                              B.    That this Hon’ble Court be pleased to declare the attachment of
                              the subject property by the Respondent No. 3’s notice dated
                              28.06.2018 and 05.08.2019 or any other notice or order as invalid
                              and inoperative.”

                      2.      At the outset, Mr. Kanade, the learned Counsel for the
                      Petitioner, on instructions, makes a statement that the Petitioner
                      does not press the Prayer Clause (B) as extracted above. His
                      statement is accepted.

                                                               1
                                                          40-WP.12212.2026.doc


3.     The learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the
subject property was purchased by the Petitioner in an auction
conducted     under   the   provisions   of   the   Securitization      and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security
Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI) and consequently, the subject Sale
Certificate dated 11th November, 2024 was obtained. Despite that,
the Respondent No. 1 has refused to register the said Sale
Certificate in accordance with law.

4.     In view of the order that we propose to pass today, we are not
inclined to issue Notice to the Respondents. In the given facts and
circumstances of the case and since the Petitioner is an auction
purchaser under the SARFAESI Act, we direct Respondent No. 1 to
consider the request of the Petitioner for registration of the Sale
Certificate dated 11th November, 2024 in accordance with law, as
expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks
from the date of uploading of this Order, in case there is no other
legal impediment.

5.     We make it clear that we have not adverted into the merits of
the matter and all contentions of the parties are kept open.

6.     With the aforesaid direction, the Writ Petition is Disposed Of.
