Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Civil Appellate Jurisdiction)
Order Date: 10 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petition No.11351 of 2026 filed by Roy Jalal Jaffarbhai (auction purchaser) against Authorized Officer, Bank of Baroda and others.
- Petitioner deposited full bid amount in 2022 and obtained sale certificate, but a status‑quo order of the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) dated 12 July 2023 and continued on 22 April 2024 prevented him from taking possession.
- The petitioner sought the Court’s intervention to direct the DRAT to dispose the pending Appeal No. 60 of 2023 expeditiously.
- The Court noted this was the first listing, respondents were not present, and therefore notice to respondents was dispensed with.
Final Outcome
- The writ petition is disposed.
- The DRAT is directed to finally hear and dispose Appeal No. 60 of 2023 as expeditiously as possible and, in any event, on or before 15 December 2026.
