It is brought to our notice that the proceeding under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 is pending before the Debt Recovery Tribunal in relation to which the Government has now issued notification authorising the competent authority to preside over the Tribunal.

It is expected from the petitioner to move an application seeking interim protection in the proceedings which are pending before the appropriate authority. Shri Gautam Kumar Kejriwal, learned counsel for the petitioner states that this shall positively be done within a period of two weeks from today.

We only hope and expect the respondent not to precipitate the matter by taking coercive steps during this period.

As such, the present petition stands disposed of in

4/4 the aforesaid terms.

Interlocutory application, if any, shall also stand disposed of.
