Source: Punjab & Haryana High Court


Why in News?


Recently, the bench of Justice Sureshwar Thakur and Justice Vikas Suri held that, the mortgagee has a right to sell the mortgage residential or commercial property in a public auction if the debtor stops working to pay the specified instalments.


The Punjab & Haryana High Court observed this in the matter of Sunil Kumar & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors.


What was the Background of Sunil Kumar & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors. Case?


The petitioners filed an immediate writ petition looking for a writ of mandamus directing participants No. 3 and 4 to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and transfer Plot No. 1591-B, Sector 23-23A, Gurugram, to the petitioners in the records of respondents No. 2 to 4. The petitioners likewise looked for a re-allotment letter verifying the sale performed by participant No. 5 on behalf of the State Bank of India under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (the Act).
Respondent No. 5, under the provisions of the Act, sold residential or commercial property No. 1591-BP, Sector 23-23A, Gurugram, through public auction for Rs. 2,28,37,425/- towards the residential or commercial property cost and Rs. 1,72,575/- towards TDS. The petitioners were released a letter of acceptance of the quote dated 06.02.2020.
After the payment was made, respondent No. 5 released a sale certificate in favor of the petitioners for the residential or commercial property, and ownership was turned over by the District Magistrate of Gurugram on 12th October 2021.
On 06th July 2020, participant No. 5 requested participant No. 2 for the issuance of the NOC for the transfer of the residential or commercial property in the records of the respondents. On 14th August 2020, respondent No. 2 issued a letter directing respondent No. 3 to advise participant No. 5 to look for re-allotment in the name of the petitioners.
Respondent No. 5 consequently asked for participant No. 4 to finish the procedures for updating the records in favor of the petitioners, but the participants have yet to address the petitioners' complaints, causing them permanent loss and injury, as they are not able to utilize the residential or commercial property.
Respondents competed that although they allowed the State Bank of India to produce a mortgage on the residential or commercial property, no particular permission was approved for the sale of the residential or commercial property through public auction, and therefore, the sale is not valid without an NOC.


What were the Court's Observations?


The Court observed that the participants' contention, which argued that the sale of the residential or commercial property was flawed because no No Objection Certificate (NOC) was provided by the worried authorities before the general public auction, was meritless.
The Court concluded that once the participants permitted the production of a mortgage on the subject plot, this authorization implicitly extended to the right of the financing institution to sell the residential or commercial property through a public auction in case of the customer's default.
The Court stressed that the fundamental right of the mortgagee to auction the residential or commercial property to recuperate the loan was not negated by the absence of a specific NOC for the sale, as the NOC for creating the mortgage was considered adequate.
The Court kept in mind that the respondents did not raise any other objections worrying the sale, such as claims of illegality or collusion in the auction process. As such, the Court discovered that the objections raised regarding the absence of the NOC were unwarranted.
Based upon the above observations, the Court allowed the writ petition, directing respondents No. 3 and 4 to issue the NOC and move the residential or commercial property to the petitioners' name in the records of the worried authorities. Additionally, the Court purchased the issuance of the re-allotment letter confirming the sale by respondent No. 5 on behalf of the State Bank of India.
