The jurisdiction of the Civil Court is barred in respect of matters which a DRT or DRAT is empowered to determine in respect of any action – Anoob J.Singh and Anr. Vs. Indian Bank and Anr. – Madras High Court
January 17, 2025
The Hon'ble Madras High Court held that the relief claimed by the revision petitioner / plaintiff was rightly rejected by the Trial Court in view of the provisions of Section 34 of the SARFAESI Act. The learned Trial Judge had passed the said order on the basis of a statutory bar. As observed earlier, the scope in which a civil suit is maintainable as determined by this Court in the case of Mardia Chemicals Limited (supra) is very limited. The case of the revision petitioner / plaintiff would not come within the said limited scope.
