Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 19-06-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: M/S SA Infrastructure & Ors.
- Respondent: Bank of India.
- Origin: Special Leave Petition (C) No. 21564/2026 arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 05-05-2026 in WP No. 15261/2026 passed by the High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Indore.
- Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Arun Palli (Partial Court Working Days Bench).
- Counsel for Petitioners: Mr. Vivek Dalal, Adv.; Mr. Harshwardhan Singh Rathore, Adv.; Ms. Monika Prakash, Adv.; Mr. Vivek Mathur, Adv.; AOR Dr. Joginder Singh Berwal, Adv.
- Background: The Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Jabalpur was non‑functional at the relevant time, prompting the petitioners to approach the High Court, which stayed coercive action against them subject to the condition that they deposit 20% of the outstanding dues. The DRT Jabalpur has now become functional by assigning additional charge to the Presiding Officer of the DRT, Ahmedabad.
- Petitioner’s Grievance: The petitioners are aggrieved by the High Court’s condition of a 20% deposit.
Final Outcome
1. The Court observed that, given the DRT Jabalpur is now functional, the petitioners may file an appropriate application before the High Court seeking withdrawal of the writ petition.
2. Such an application must be filed within two weeks from the date of this order; the High Court will then consider it on its own merits.
3. Subject to the above, the Special Leave Petition is disposed of.
4. Any pending applications, if any, are ordered disposed of.
