Cheekati Manavendranath Roy, J.

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

2. The petitioner is the principal borrower who availed loan from the 1st respondent-bank. Owing into the default committed by the petitioner in repayment of the loan amount, the bank has initiated measures under SARFAESI Act. The bank has already sold a part of the secured asset in the auction. The same was challenged by the petitioner by filing S.A.No.36 of 2025 before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam (hereinafter referred to as “the Tribunal). Pending adjudication of the said securitization application, the bank initiated measures to put the other part of the secured asset for sale for realization of the loan amount. On the ground that there are certain violations committed by the bank in initiating the said measures, the petitioner has filed certain Interlocutory Applications vide I.A.Nos.4654, 4653, 4652 and 4651 of 2025 challenging the said measures initiated for sale of the remaining part of the secured asset and seeking stay of further proceedings before the Tribunal.

3. Now, the grievance of the writ petitioner is that at present the Tribunal is not functioning as the Presiding Officer is not holding the Tribunal till 04.12.2025 and in the said circumstances, the petitioner is constrained to approach this Court seeking a direction to the Tribunal to consider the aforesaid Interlocutory Applications and to decide the same expeditiously including the stay application. The petitioner also prayed to pass interim orders staying the proceedings till the said applications are heard and decided by the Tribunal.

4. Therefore, in the said facts and circumstances of the case, as the petitioner has already approached the Tribunal by way of filing aforesaid Interlocutory Applications challenging the measures initiated by the bank for the sale of the remaining part of the secured asset and also sought stay of the further proceedings and as the Interlocutory Applications are pending before the Tribunal, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter and entertain this writ petition.

5. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the 2nd respondent i.e., the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam, to take up the hearing in I.A.Nos.4654, 4653, 4652 and 4651 of 2025 in S.A.No.36 of 2025 which are filed challenging the measures initiated by the 1st respondent- bank for the sale of the remaining part of the secured asset and seeking stay of the further proceedings expeditiously within a period of one (01) month from the date of receipt of this order and dispose of the same on merits according to law.

6. Till the said Interlocutory Applications are heard and disposed of according to law on merits, there shall be a direction to the 1st respondent- bank not to take physical possession of the residential building admeasuring 121 ½ Sq.yards, bearing D.No.50/B, Door No.1-74, Kondepadu Gram Panchayath, Prathipadu Mandal, Guntur, and the residential flat bearing No.416, Satya Comforts Apartments, Dwaraka Nagar 9th line, Koretipadu, Guntur, till the disposal of aforesaid Interlocutory Applications as ordered supra.

7. As a sequel, Miscellaneous Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
