Relationship with the Bar Association appears to be severally strained, and the Bar appears to have gone on strike from 26.10.2022, and counsels are not appearing before the 4th respondent. Though Nodal Officers of Banks were appearing in cases before the 4th respondent, the 4th respondent has taken a stand that they had no authority to appear in the OAs, and they are not authorized officers of the respective Banks who have instituted the OAs, and several orders have been passed by the 4th respondent dismissing OAs for default which are enclosed as Annexure P-10, all of which are almost identical.
While we do not appreciate the conduct on the part of the members of the petitioner's Association going on strike, in view of the severally strained relationship between members of the petitioner's Association and the 4th respondent, some steps need to be taken to ensure that injustice is not done to the parties, and there is no wholesale dismissal of cases pending before the 3rd respondent Tribunal or passing of adverse orders therein by the 4th respondent (as is evident from Annexure P-10 orders) Therefore, in exercise of the powers of superintendence possessed by this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India as highlighted by the Supreme Court in its judgment dt.22.1.2013 in Civil Appeal Nos. 617618 of 2013 in the cases of Union of India and Ors. Versus Debts Recovery Tribunal Bar Association and another, the
4th respondent is restrained from today from passing any adverse orders in any of the cases (OAs or SAs) pending before the 3rd respondent Tribunal of which he is the Presiding Officer, till the next date of hearing." 0@
