Humanitarian Approach in SARFAESI Proceedings - Courts have recognized the importance of considering humanitarian factors when dealing with loan defaults under SARFAESI. They have permitted installment payments and deferred recovery processes for borrowers facing genuine hardships, such as medical emergencies, COVID-19 related issues, or unforeseen circumstances. These measures aim to balance creditor rights with borrower welfare BINOY JOSEPH Vs THE AUTHORIZED OFFICER - Kerala, SUJITH T vs THE CALICUT CO-OPERATIVE URBAN BANK LIMITED NO - Kerala, SELVANOSE vs AUTHORISED OFFICER - Kerala, JAYA C M vs THE KOTTAYAM DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD - Kerala, SHAJAHAN ABDUL AZEEZ vs AUTHORISED OFFICER - Kerala, MUHAMMED SHAREEF Vs THE AUTHORIZED OFFICER - Kerala, RAMANKITTA & RAMAKRISHNAN Vs KERALA STATE CO-OPERATIVE BANK - Kerala, BABICHAN MUKKADAN vs STATE BANK OF TRAVANCORE SB COLLEGE BRANCH REP BY ITS CHIEF MANAGER Advocate - SATHISH NINAN ,SATHISH NINAN - Kerala.
Court Orders for Installment Payments - Multiple judgments have emphasized allowing borrowers to clear dues through structured installment plans, especially when defaults are non-wilful or due to adverse circumstances. Courts have set specific timelines for installment payments, often extending deadlines to facilitate repayment while safeguarding the borrower’s dignity and financial stability SELVANOSE vs AUTHORISED OFFICER - Kerala, JAYA C M vs THE KOTTAYAM DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD - Kerala, SHAJAHAN ABDUL AZEEZ vs AUTHORISED OFFICER - Kerala, BABICHAN MUKKADAN vs STATE BANK OF TRAVANCORE SB COLLEGE BRANCH REP BY ITS CHIEF MANAGER Advocate - SATHISH NINAN ,SATHISH NINAN - Kerala.
Recognition of Genuine Hardship - Courts have acknowledged various hardships such as medical emergencies, COVID-19 pandemic impacts, and unforeseen personal crises as valid reasons for default. This recognition has led to the approval of installment-based repayment plans, emphasizing a compassionate approach rather than immediate coercive recovery SUJITH T vs THE CALICUT CO-OPERATIVE URBAN BANK LIMITED NO - Kerala, MUHAMMED SHAREEF Vs THE AUTHORIZED OFFICER - Kerala, JAYA C M vs THE KOTTAYAM DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD - Kerala.
Legal Framework & Balancing Rights - While SARFAESI empowers banks to recover dues through securitization and enforcement actions, courts have underscored the need to consider the borrower’s circumstances. They have upheld the legality of proceedings but advised the adoption of humane solutions like installment plans to prevent undue hardship BINOY JOSEPH Vs THE AUTHORIZED OFFICER - Kerala, K.ASOKAN Vs THE BANK OF BARODA - Kerala.
Conclusion:
Courts under Indian jurisprudence have increasingly adopted a humanitarian stance in SARFAESI-related recoveries, prioritizing installment-based repayment plans for borrowers facing genuine hardships. This approach aims to uphold the principles of justice and equity, ensuring that recovery processes do not become punitive in situations of unavoidable difficulty.
