Authority: High Court of Judicature at Madras
Order Date: 15 June 2026
Case Overview
- Petition filed under Article 227 by Safa Global Impex, a partnership firm represented by partners Shaik Mohammed Sattar & Eliyas Shaik, seeking a direction to the Debt Recovery Tribunal‑II, Chennai to dispose of S.A.No.421 of 2023 within a fixed time frame.
- Respondent is Union Bank of India, represented by its Authorized Officer, Asset Recovery Branch, Chennai.
- The petitioner argued that the Tribunal had delayed the specific debt recovery case and requested the Court to intervene and set a deadline.
- The Court noted that the case pertains to the year 2023 and that granting a blanket expedited timeline would disrupt the Tribunal’s case‑management, affect seniority principles, and disadvantage earlier litigants. No exceptional urgency was demonstrated.
Final Outcome
- The Court declined to issue a direction for expedited disposal, stating the Tribunal may regulate its own procedure if genuine urgency is shown.
- The petitioner was granted liberty to file an appropriate application before the Tribunal for expediting the hearing.
- The civil revision petition is disposed of with no order as to costs.
