attachment under the distinct order of the Collector..

IDFC First Bank, by the Interim Applications prayed that the
Court Receiver shall be restrained from attaching the said property in
the wake of valid subsisting mortgage already created in its favour and
as a secured creditor, having a valid charge over the said property.

issued to the Court Receiver to lift the attachment and restrain Tata

satisfying claim of the secured creditor as well as Tata Capital
Financial Services Ltd. On 06.12.2022, a valuation report was
