ARVIND DILIP PATILversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS.

Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioner, Arvind Dilip Patil, filed a writ petition under Article 226 challenging a notice issued under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act. The High Court observed that the proceedings under the Act had been taken to their logical conclusion and that there was no further relief sought by the petitioner. Consequently, the Court declined to exercise its extraordinary writ jurisdiction. The petition was dismissed on the ground of non‑prosecution. The judgment underscores that challenges to SARFAESI notices must be pursued within the statutory framework and not via writ jurisdiction.

                                    Date      : October 7, 2026.
P. C. :

1.         The present petition challenges the notice issued under Section

14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and

Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 [for short, “SARFAESI Act”].

We are, therefore, not inclined to exercise our extra-ordinary writ

jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

2.         Be that it may. It appears that the proceedings have been taken

to its logical end and, presumably for that reason, none appears on

behalf of the Petitioner.

3.         The petition stands dismissed for non prosecution.
