This Application under Section 17(1) of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (for short 'the Securitisation Act') pertains to Bungalow No. 4A, Gulab View Bungalow, Ground Floor, Near Basant Cinema, Mihishad Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., Dr. C.P.G.

The applicant claims to be owner of the property having got it by registered Gift Deed dated 26.12.2002 from his father Mr. Narinder Pal Aggarwal, borrower of the respondent.

Suffice it to say that in the grounds of application, the contention is that the impugned action is bad in law because the property in question belonging to the applicant is not the secured asset of the Bank and that it does not belong to the Borrower.

By reply in the nature of affidavit of Mr. A.K. Aggarwal (Exh. 28) it is inter alia contended that this application is abuse of process. Earlier, the applicant's father had filed appeal No. 71 of 2004 which came to be rejected by this Tribunal by judgment dated 9.11.2004 on the ground that it was premature and misconceived. It is stated that entire Bungalow No. 4 having been mortgaged by the applicant's father Narinder Pal Aggarwal is the respondent's security. The application is said to be untenable since on the applicant's own contention is that the possession is yet not taken by the respondent. The...
