Holding
The Court held that the petitioner had complied with the earlier directions and therefore disposed of the writ petitions.
Summary
PNB Housing Finance Ltd, a secured creditor, filed three writ petitions (Nos. 8541, 8544, 8545 of 2026) seeking enforcement of earlier court directions to take physical possession of a secured asset. The High Court had previously ordered that possession be handed over to the petitioner. The petitioner submitted documents confirming that the possession has been transferred and requested final orders. The Court accepted the compliance, disposed of all three petitions and any pending applications, and directed the State authorities to pursue further legal steps concerning the petitioner’s complaints of trespass on the property. No further relief was granted beyond confirming compliance.
Issues considered
