Court emphasized the necessity for resolving pending matters in the Tribunal before enforcement actions related to property sales.

JUDGMENT

The writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the 2^nd respondent to afford adequate and effective police protection to the petitioner, his power of attorney holder and their workmen for carrying out the demolition activities in the property covered by Ext.P2 sale certificate.

2. The writ petition proceeds on the basis that no proceedings are pending before any forum challenging the issuance of Ext.P1 sale certificate. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the said averment was made on account of a mistake. This is seriously opposed by the learned Senior counsel appearing for the party respondents, as the writ petition was filed after receiving notice in the Securitisation Application pending before the Tribunal.

3. Taking note of the fact that the Securitisation application filed against the sale conducted in SA No. 74/2023 is pending consideration before the DRT-2, Ernakulam, there will be a direction to the said Tribunal to consider and pass final orders in the securitisation application, which will put a quietus to the entire dispute.

4. Needless to say, the parties will cooperate with the Tribunal to enable it to pass orders as directed above within the timeline. All the contentions of the parties on the merits are left open. This judgment will not prevent the parties from seeking the appropriate interim orders from the Tribunal concerned, if so advised.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
