Petitioner is also seeking stay on the possession notice dated 10th May, 2024 and to further grant six months' time to the petitioner to vacate the mortgaged property. 2.

A perusal of the impugned order reveals that the petitioner has not even challenged the securitization action taken by the Bank under Section 17(1) of the SARFAESI Act, 2002.
