Saraf<\/span>* and Praveen Kumar Giri, JJ., held that it was patently clear that the registered lease deed was executed by the borrower after taking the loan, without the knowledge of the secured creditor, Axis Bank. Accordingly, the Court directed the authorities to give possession of the suit property to Axis Bank within 8 weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">An order was passed in favour of Axis Bank under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001567731\" target=\"_blank\">14<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002780400\" target=\"_blank\">SARFAESI Act<\/a> for the suit property, but physical possession was not provided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State contended that the borrowers had mortgaged the suit property after the loan grant. Furthermore, a tenant of the borrowers had filed a suit and obtained a stay order from the Civil Court without making Axis Bank a party in the said suit.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Upon perusal of the judgments relied upon by Axis Bank, the Court stated that it was clear that the tenancy that was created during the pendency of the mortgage without permission of the secured creditor, i.e., Axis Bank, would be subject to the condition of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001521623\" target=\"_blank\">65A<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726942\" target=\"_blank\">Transfer of Property Act, 1882<\/a>, which describes a mortgagor&#8217;s power to lease. Furthermore, whether these conditions were satisfied would have to be decided by the Debts Recovery Tribunal (&#8216;DRT&#8217;) only. The Court reiterated that a tenant was required to move an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001567734\" target=\"_blank\">17<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002780400\" target=\"_blank\">SARFAESI Act<\/a> before the DRT to assert his rights under such a registered document<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that once an order was passed under Section 14, the authorities were required to act in pursuance of the same and as per the provisions of the Act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">&#8220;The mechanism used by the borrowers to wiggle out of their liability cannot be countenanced by us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that in the present case, it was patently clear that after the loan was taken by the borrowers, the registered lease deed was executed by the borrower without Axis Bank&#8217;s knowledge. In such a case, the tenant had to approach the DRT and obtain the necessary orders therein. However, the tenant obtained an order of status quo\/stay from the Civil Court by allegedly suppressing the material facts, including the fact that the suit property was mortgaged by the borrower without reference to the secured creditor, i.e., Axis Bank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court held that the authorities should act as per the judgment in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Bajarang Shyamsunder Agarwal v. Central Bank of India<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/633d94od\" target=\"_blank\">(2019) 9 SCC 94<\/a> and give possession to Axis Bank. Furthermore, the stay order obtained by the tenant, wherein Axis Bank was not made a party, was non-est in law as it violated Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001567769\" target=\"_blank\">34<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002780400\" target=\"_blank\">SARFAESI Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court directed the authorities to act per the law and give possession to Axis Bank within 8 weeks, if there was no other legal impediment. However, in case a stay order was obtained from the DRT, the authorities shall comply with such stay order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Axis Bank Ltd. v.
