  1. The present Appeal has been preferred by the appellants-Bank under Section 18 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as the 'SARFAESI Act'] against the judgment dated 5th March, 2015 passed by the learned DRT, Lucknow, wherein the review application No. 02/2014 filed by the respondent No. 1 was allowed and the judgment dated 7th May, 2014 in securitisation application No. 483/2014 was set aside.
