Allahabad High Court
SUBHASH AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 4 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed, with liberty to approach the SARFAESI Tribunal under Section 17.
Summary
The petitioners Subhash and another filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and four other respondents. The petition sought relief, but counsel for the petitioners requested that the petition be dismissed with liberty to approach the Tribunal under Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act. The Court examined whether the writ petition was the appropriate remedy or whether the SARFAESI Tribunal was the correct forum. It held that the High Court was not the proper forum for the relief sought and therefore dismissed the writ petition, granting liberty to approach the Tribunal. Consequently, the petition was dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition is maintainable in view of the provisions of Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act
- Whether the petitioner should be directed to approach the SARFAESI Tribunal instead of the High Court
