1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. We find that prima facie, Respondent Nos. 2 to 4 could not have been allowed to continue in possession of the subject property beyond a period of six weeks from the date of the order of the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) passed on 14/07/2025. There is nothing to show that the said respondents have settled their loan account with the petitioner. 2.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that subsequent applications filed on behalf of the petitioner are languishing before the DRT and no effective orders have been passed till date. Sweety
