Order Date: 24 June 2026
Case Overview
- Petition: WP No.19130 of 2024 filed by Shanmugam under Article 226 seeking a writ of mandamus to restrain the alienation of a 5,259 sq ft property (SF No:331/3A, Kumarapalayam Village, Coimbatore) pending disposal of SA No.22/2024 and SA No.423/2024 before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Coimbatore.
- Respondents: 1) The Authorized Officer, M/s REPCO Home Finance Limited, Chennai; 2) Ashwin Kumar.
- Counsel for petitioner argued SA No.423/2024 disposed, SA No.22/2024 pending; counsel for respondent bank cited a conditional interim order in SA No.22/2024 and non‑compliance by petitioner, noting the property had already been sold on 30‑06‑2023 with a sale certificate in favour of the second respondent.
Final Outcome
- The Court held that, given the sale of the property and the petitioner's failure to comply with the interim order, no relief could be granted.
- The writ petition is dismissed without any order as to costs; the interim application is closed.
- The petitioner is directed to approach the DRT, Coimbatore, for early disposal of SA No.22/2024.
