2. When we informed counsel for petitioner that the remedy would lie in the Debts Recovery Tribunal, counsel says he has already approached Debts Recovery Tribunal and the Debts Recovery Tribunal passed an order. But that order is not challenged before us. Counsel says, the relief sought before the Debts Recovery Tribunal was something else and not the relief as sought here.

3. It is open to petitioner to seek the relief sought here before the Debts Recovery Tribunal and the Debts Recovery Tribunal may consider the same in accordance with law. We express no opinion. Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the interim applications also stand dismissed. (K.R.SHRIRAM, CJ.) (MOHAMMED SHAFFIQ, J.) 02.04.2025 Index : Yes/No : Yes/No
