ORDER
[Order of the Court was made by R.MAHADEVAN, J.] Challenging the possession notice issued under Section 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition.
2.The case of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent, who is the owner of the mortgaged property with the 1st respondent Bank, entered into an agreement of sale with the petitioner on 02.07.2008. According to the petitioner, even at the time of entering into the abovesaid sale agreement, the 2 nd respondent agreed to discharge the loan obtained by him from the 1st respondent Bank, but he did not choose to do so, nor executed the sale deed as per the agreement of Page 2 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No.14608 of 2013 sale. Hence, the petitioner, as plaintiff, filed a suit for specific performance against the 2nd respondent in O.S.No.4 of 2009, on the file of the District Court, Thiruvarur and the trial Court, by judgment and decree dated 28.11.2011, decreed the said suit. As per the decree passed in the said suit, the petitioner also deposited the balance sale consideration. As against the decree passed in the suit, the 2nd respondent has filed an appeal in A.S.No.836 of 2012, which is pending before this Court.
3.It is the grievance of the petitioner that contrary to the judgment and decree of the Civil Court, the 1st respondent has issued the impugned notice. Hence, this Writ Petition.
4.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the 1st respondent. There is no appearance for the 2nd respondent.
5.Admittedly, the 1st respondent Bank is not a party to the abovesaid suit and against the decree passed in the suit, appeal is pending before this Court Page 3 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No.14608 of 2013 in A.S.No.836 of 2012. Thus, the petitioner has to work out his remedy in the pending appeal.
6.With the above observation, this Writ Petition is closed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
