ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by M.Duraiswamy, J.) The petitioner has filed the above writ petition challenging the demand notice dated 04.01.2019 issued under Section 13(2) of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (in short, 'SARFAESI Act').

2. It is settled position that the petitioner cannot challenge the notice issued under Section 13(2) of the SARFAESI Act. Filing of writ petition challenging the notice issued https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

under Section 13(2) is premature. The cause of action to challenge the proceedings would arise only after issuance of a notice under Section 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act.

3. In such view of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, W.M.P.No.20608 of 2019 is closed.
