O R D E R
[Order of the Court was made by M.VENUGOPAL, J.] Since this Court disposes of the present Writ Petition at the admission stage itself, notice is not ordered to the Respondents 1 to 4.
2. It transpires that the Petitioner is assailing the 12 impugned possession notices issued by the third Respondent/Bank dated 13.10.2017 under Section 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act, 2002.
3. Considering the fact that the Petitioner has an effective, efficacious, viable and an alternative statutory remedy of approaching the Debts Recovery Tribunal at Madurai, this Court is of the considered view that the present Writ Petition filed by the Petitioner is per se not maintainable. Viewed in that perspective, the Writ Petition fails.
4. In fine, the Writ Petition is dismissed. It is made quite clear by this Court that the dismissal of the present Writ Petition will not preclude the Petitioner to seek appropriate remedy before the competent Debts Recovery Tribunal, if he is so advised, of course, in the manner known to law and in accordance with law. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
