JUDGMENT :
1. By this Writ Petition, the Petitioners are seeking a direction to the Central Government and Reserve Bank of India to enforce the Notification (‘MSME Notification’) dated 29th May, 2015 and further ensure that the recovery action initiated against the Petitioners that is stated to be in violation of the mandate of the MSME Notification is recalled.

Borrowers classified as MSMEs must assert their status before NPA classification to invoke benefits under the SARFAESI Act; failure to do so precludes subsequent claims.
A registered MSME must disclose its status before NPA classification to invoke protections under relevant frameworks; failure to do so precludes later challenges to recovery actions.
Banks must adhere to the Framework for Revival and Rehabilitation of MSMEs before classifying accounts as non-performing assets, obligating both banks and MSMEs to fulfill their respective duties.
Banks are required to follow statutory protocols for MSME accounts before classifying them as NPAs; failure to do so renders the classification invalid.
