Vs.

State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Rahul Sarkar, Ms. Dipika Sarkar ... for the Petitioners.

Mr. Ayan Banerjee ... for the State-respondents.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today, is taken on record.

The prayer of the petitioners is innocuous and no mandatory direction, which will adversely affect the parties, is passed.

The petitioners have approached this Court for a direction upon the District Magistrate, South 24-Parganas to take steps on the basis of the application filed under Section 14 of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. It is submitted that the said application is pending since long. Without going into the merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, South 24-Parganas to dispose of the application under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act filed by the petitioners, within a period of two months from the date of communication of this order, if not already disposed of, upon ensuring that the application by the petitioners satisfies the legal requirements.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.

Parties are to act on the basis of the server copy of this order.

This order will not preclude any of the parties, aggrieved by the order that may be passed by the concerned District Magistrate, from taking any step in accordance with law.

(Shampa Sarkar, J.)
