What is the reason the co-op Bank is relying upon for invoking sarfaesi act, if the act is properly applied as per provisions of law then there's nothing to be worried about it.

What exactly you mean by "who not member of op bank"?
Whether the mortgaged property is a third party property?
Has the Bank followed the prerequisites under Sarfaesi Act before issuing possession notice and actual possession?
There is a process prescribed for the defaulter also to follow for objecting Bank's action in terms of Sarfaesi Act. Has the defaulter followed the set procedure?
If answer is yes to both the above, you may inform Banking Ombudsman the facts of the case as well as provisions of Sarfaesi Act requesting to dismiss the case and to advise the defaulter to appeal only in DRT as prescribed in the said act.
As a Bank, even as a Coop Bank, you are likely to have Advocate on your Panel. You may contact your Panel Advocate, as per your internal guidelines, for doing the needful based on facts of the case.
