Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 14 May 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Can a Bank after issuing notice u/s 13/2
go for section 14 without going through
u/s 13/4?
Is it legal?
If not what is the remedy?

N.K.Assumi (Expert) 14 May 2010
Yes, under the SARFASI Act, for the purpose of section 13 and after the lapse of 60 days of the Notice, the secured creditor has to approach with a written request to the Cheif matropolitan Magistrate or the District magistrate, who will take necessary action aginst the borrower.
J K Agrawal (Expert) 14 May 2010
To avail facility of s 14 it is not necessary to first initiate and proceed under S 13 (4). Proper course is first seek suppourt under s 14 and then to proceed under 13 (4).

DRT has no jurisdiction only at stage of action under s 14.

Only remedy is to go to the HC.

I am confused. Some of you say no, the bank cannot go for S 14 without going through u/s 13/4, others says YES the Bank can go directly u/s 14?
What is the law?
If I go to high court I will go under which section?
or if I go to DRT then which section?

Please help?
