Debt Recovery Act of India
Introduction:
In the early days people live their lives miserable. The conditions of the living standards of people were not up to the mark and can not say that the standard of living of the people was very low. But after independence, the central government felt the need to improve the living standard of people. And in achieving compliance with the standard of living these different types of development plans have been occupied by the government. Banks and financial institutions began to play important or significant role in promoting trade and industry. Several financial institutions were established in the country since 1948. A planning committee was also appointed by the government of India in December 1949 to oversee the development plan. To treat to achieve the goal of the campaign plans of the five banks extend their branches across the country and helped the entrepreneur in business at large. However, the recovery of dues to banks became a serious problem as enormous amount of public money were blocked in the hands of defaulting borrowers.
The government India, as a step to streamline the committee system designated as 'Tiwari Committee', Narasimham Committee. The Narasimham Committee and a high-level committee headed by Shri VS Hedge. [1] All these committees recommended in a single voice for the establishment of special courts to expedite the award Claims of banks and financial institutions. The main focus or goal of all these committees is to avoid delay in the allocation process and the achievement to expedite procurement processes.
As a result of a bill was introduced in the Lok shabha May 13, 1993. Since Parliament was not in session, President of India promulgated an Ordinance No. 25 of 1993, which came into effect on June 24, 1993. Later, he became "The recovery of the debt with Banks and Financial Institutions Act 1993 with retrospective effect from June 24, 1993. [2]
The passage is considered as the special law to ensure expedite the adjudication of claims of banks and financial institutions and the rapid recovery of their fees. The court and the appellate court are not bound by the Civil Procedure Code, but are guided by the principle of natural justice and rules of procedure. They are also vested with power to regulate its own procedure. The provisions of law are applicable to the claim when the amount of debt owed to banks and financial institutions is ten lakh rupees and above or any other sum not less than one lakh rupees as the Central Government may notify. Each suit pending in other proceedings or where the amount of debt is more than ten lakh rupees in any civil court immediately before the date of establishment of the tribunal under this act are transferred, for adjudication.
The bank or financial institution seeking to recover the debt of a borrower may apply to the court in question, which citations are sent by it to the defendant. After giving an opportunity to publicize the court awarded credit for ordering. If the claim is proved the court finds the claim for ordering. If the claim is proved that the court issue a certificate of recovery. No court or other authority shall have jurisdiction and authority to hear and decide such claims of Banks and Financial Institutions.
Recently, in 2002, another similar bill, interest and Reconstruction securitization of financial assets and enforcement of security law of 2002 was passed for the benefit of banks and financial institutions, the easiest and most rapid recovery thereunder. Most recently, DRT Rules 1993 have also been amended by omitting the most controversial Article 10 and some change other provisions.
Purpose of the Act:
The recovery of debts due to banks and financial institutions Act of 1993 enacted to provide for the establishment of courts for trial fast recovery of debts due to the s bank and financial institution and the question related or connected. [3] to implement and the recommendation of the Commission and Tiwari Narasimham committee legislation was to establish the special tribunal for the rapid or faster adjudications of claims of banks and financial institutions and collection of debt from the defaulter. The preamble of the act reveals the purpose and scope of the legislation. It also indicates the aims and objectives of the Act is the establishment and the courts.
The importance of this act may be understood in the light of expeditious adjudication of claims of banks and financial institution. The main focus of the enactment of these laws was to reduce the time delay in the procurement process and helps the bank to recover due to the banks of the defaulter as quickly as possible. Therefore we can say that the two important objectives or purpose of the enactment of this Act was to: –
a) expeditious adjudication of claims of banks and financial institutions
b) the rapid recovery of the debts of the borrower
Expeditious adjudication:
In the case of United Bank of India v / s Debt Recovery Tribunals and others [4], Supreme Court of India stressed the view that, while dealing with cases under the provisions relevant Act must be interpreted bearing in mind the objectives for which Parliament approved the promulgation. The primary objective of the act is the establishment of courts for early and rapid recovery of the award and the debt due from banks and financial institutions.
The above case law emphasizes the main objective of the enactment of this Act which is the expeditious adjudication of claims of banks and financial institutions, as well as the rapid recovery of the debt owed to banks and financial institutions. It helps to avoid delays in the procurement procedure in this regard.
Speedy Recovery by procedure Summary:
As regards the objective of the law in the case of Kundan Rice and General Mills and others v / s India and others, the European Union [5], an appeal petition challenging the vires of the Act, the division bench of Punjab and Haryana High Court observed that the amount owed to banks and institutions public money is financing the case of public interest. The statute is aimed to recover the money in which the public has an interest. Therefore, where there conflicts between the interests of individuals and the general public, the differential treatment is acceptable and the abbreviated procedure of the award rather than developed test as found in the Code of Civil Procedure before the Court is admissible and decided that the law is not ultra vires or unconstitutional.
Recommendations of high-powered committees:
In Allahabad Bank v / s Canara Bank and the Apex Court held that the Act is order to remedy speedy and summary for the recovery of large amounts owed to banks and financial institutions. [6] Your Honor narrated the abstract of the reports of the Commission and Tiwari Narasimham Committee and its recommendations for the establishment of courts for the recovery of debts to banks and financial institutions said softly.
Tiwari Committee Report in 1981, explained in respect of suits by banks and financial institutions delays are normal in the trial stage and in the implementation phase in various courts and hence a principle enunciated
"The principle that the State should have a special procedure to enforce its own demands must also be extended to recovery of dues to banks and financial institutions too. [7]
In fact it was recommended by the court under Article 323-A and-B 323 of the Constitution of India should be established. The Court should not be stalled by the Civil Procedure Code but should be a simple procedure guided only by the principle of natural justice. Was said Courts must follow the simple and summary procedure in accordance with the principle of natural justice.
The Tiwari Committee also prepared a draft law See proposal in Annexes XI of the report and stated that all enforcement procedures must be brought only before the Adjudication Officer so that this procedure of implementation must be completed quickly. The above report of 1981 was followed by the last ten years Narasimham Committee Report, which stated that legislation Special Tiwari recommended by the Committee in 1981 should be immediately enacted. The latter committee also noted that we consider the creation of Special Courts as crucial to the successful implementation of financial sector reforms to ensure the speedy resolution of the award and execution against defaulters. Even with respect to priorities among creditors of the said commission official said the award will have such power to distribute the product sales to banks and financial institutions that secured creditors in accordance with the inter se agreement or arrangement between them and other persons entitled to it under with priorities in the law.
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COURT AND COURT OF APPEAL:
Establishment of Tribunal:
As regards the question of establishing the Tribunal, Section 3 of the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993 is the creation of the debt recovery tribunal. In accordance with subsection (1) of section 3, it is mandatory for central government to establish one or more courts to be known as the Courts of debt recovery. These courts, which are set assumes the exercise of jurisdiction, power and authority they conferred by the provisions of Chapter III of the law. [8] The sub section (2) of the Act also mandates the central government to specify in the exercise of the court to entertain and rule on the application before them in the manner provided in Article 19 of the Act for the recovery of the debt owed to banks and financial institutions. With respect to section 19 of the Act, which establishes the procedure for filling applications to the courts and all such applications shall be as a form and will accompanied by documents and other evidence as may be prescribed.
Section 3 of the Act provides for the establishment of courts of debt recovery. The central government can set the courts after the notification of their location, date and territorial jurisdictions the Official Gazette. After notification the courts begin to work to assume jurisdiction, powers and authority conferred on them by the Duke of debt to banks and financial institutions law. The central government has twenty-eight courts reported to date in Calcutta in areas such as establishing three courts, Allahabad, Delhi, where three courts has been established, Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Patna, Chennai court is two, where there are three courts Mumbai, Hyderabad, Jabalpur, Ernakulum, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Aurangabad, Nagpur, Cuttack, Ranchi, Visakhapatnam and Coimbatore.
Composition of Court:
A Tribunal shall consist of a single person, hereinafter as Chairman to be appointed by the notification by the central government notwithstanding anything contained in subsection (1), the central government may authorize the President a court to also comply with the duties of the presiding officer of another court [9].
Although Article 3 of the Act provides for the establishment of the Tribunal and in this section referred to in Article 4 of the Act with the composition of the courts. The distinction of the difference between the two sections is very clear. The establishment expression as described in Section 3 of the Act refers to the act of creating or the act of creating or bringing for the institution and that is the finding of the forum to be called Court debt recovery while the composition of expression as outlined in Section 4 of the Act, the act of collecting flocks or combination of different parts or elements into the work order. Subsection (a) of this section provides that the debt recovery tribunal which is to settle in Section 3 of the act consists of the only person known only as the President who shall be appointed by the central government reporting. subsection (2) of the Act empowers the Central Government to authorize the president of a court to fulfill also the role of the presiding judge others.
In other words, we can say that this section is or contains two clauses. The sub-section (1) is with respect to the appointment of Chairman of the Central government notification. Moreover Subsection (2) empowers the Central Government to authorize the presiding officer of a court to play the role of the presiding judge in the event of need.
Unlike courts established under the decrees, the Debt Recovery Tribunal is headed, but only one member who is the President who takes office and authority as head of the court and entertain the application of banks and financial institutions within the territorial jurisdiction of the court concerned to decide claims Rs. 10 lakh and above. The President is appointed by a central government notification when the post becomes vacant for any reason. The provision is incorporated in the law to ensure continuous operation of the court.
Qualification for appointment as Chairman:
A person should not be qualified for appointment as President of the Court, unless he is or has been or is qualified to be district judge. [10] This section establishes the requirements for appointment as President of the Tribunal. It envisages the nomination of a person as an officer who served as president of District Judge or work within the framework of the District Judge or that is qualified to be a District Judge. This means that a person not in the judicial service will also be eligible for appointment as Chief Justice if he is qualified for appointment as district judge.
The presiding officer is considered the head of the court. Selection of the President is therefore crucial for the proper functioning the court. Because the courts have to decide claims by banks and financial institutions to recover their debts president requires knowledge of banking and functioning of the financial institution, in addition to legal acumen. Imposing a tax is therefore the President to act with discretion reasonably and with quickly to dispose of cases within six months on summary guided by the principle of natural justice to achieve their main purpose.
In other words, we can say that Section 5 of the Act that establishes the qualifications and eligibility for appointment of a person as Chief Justice official debt Recovery starts with the negative phraseology is required from a person may not perform as president of a court unless it is or has been or is qualified to be a District Judge. Rather than in the positive sense, maybe the next person to act as or retired from the office of District Judge is below sixty years may be appointed as chairman of the debt recovery tribunal. A person who is already holding the office of District Judge or who is qualified for appointment as District Judge shall hold office of President of Debt Recovery Tribunal for a period of five years from the date you enter for up in his office or until he reaches the age of sixty-two years or ever. [11] Article 6 of the Law prescribes that the President of the Court official debt function recovery as well appointed for a period of five years from the date that comes up in your office, or until he reaches age sixty-two years.
The negative wording adopted in this section is very important because section 16 of the Act provides that no central government order appointing a person as the Chief Justice or the Court of Appeal shall be questioned in any way by reason merely of any defect or irregularity in the constitution of the tribunal or the court of appeal. Therefore we can say that the appointment of a person as president of the court to recover the debt may be challenged in the procedure under in art. 226 and 227 of the Constitution through the use of quo warranto.
Staff of the Tribunal:
As regards Court personnel issue has been addressed in section 7 of the Act. The central government has to offer is necessary court staff. The staff assigned to the Tribunal must possess the qualifications for the office prescribed under the rules and regulations of central government. Recovery Officer, Secretary, other officer and employees are appointed by central government to fulfill its duties under the supervision of the President. The payment or compensation of court personnel can be as prescribed by the central government. Section 25 of the Act is to recover the amount awarded as specified on the certificate of payment issued by the president in sub section (22) of section 19 of the Act. Article 30 of the Act has been amended to give power to the president. The secretary is appointed to perform administrative functions under the general supervision of the President. However, he has no authority to replace the President in the judicial work. The High Court of Madras in Sumangala For Jewelers and others v / s The President Official DRT and others [12] argued that the registrar has no power to decide the application has to be decided by the President and this has challenged the order to be set aside as registrar is not competent to decide the issue.
Establishment of Appellate Tribunal:
The question of the creation of the Court of Appeal has been tried under Article 8 of the debt owed to the Banks and Financial Institution Act. Section 8 provides the procedure the creation of the Court of Appeal as is defined in section 2 (a) of the Act. Sub section (1) empowers the central government to establish by notice in the official one or more appellate courts tribunal known as debt recovery. The Court of Appeal to exercise jurisdiction is established, powers and discretion conferred on the tribunal under the law [13].
Otherwise in this section empowers the Central Government to establish one or more courts appeal, which would have authority to hear appeals against orders of the courts. The central government up until the moment five courts of appeals, that are working in Mumbai, Chennai, Calcutta, Delhi and Allahabad. Court having jurisdiction over the debts with the recovery in performance competition, as shown in the notification of the central government.
Composition of the Court of Appeal:
The composition of the Court of Appeal has been treated under Article 8 of the debt due to banks and financial institutions law. Section 8 of the Act provides for the composition of the Court of Appeal, and requires the central government to designate by notice to a person called as the president of the court of appeal.
This section deals with the composition the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal will have a president appointed by the central government by notification. The conditions of service of Chairman governed by the rules framed by the central government. Before the amendment, the President of the Court of Appeal is known as the president who has no difference with the president the court. When the need for change is felt the word president is replaced by the word presiding officer to distinguish from one another.
The constitutional validity the law was challenged before the Supreme Court because the act is unreasonable and violates Article 14 of the Constitution of India and also beyond the powers legislative Parliament. This topic has been discussed in the Superior Court case of Delhi Bar Association and others v / s uoi and others, [14] as well as in the case of Abdul DK Khader and others v / s uoi and others [15], the apex court held disapproved of the decision and argued that the DRR Act 1993 is a valid piece of legislation.
To be eligible for appointment:
As aa rating the appointment of this matter under Article 10 recovery of the debt with Banks and Financial Institutions Act. Article 10 of the Act establishes the requirements for appointment as President of the Court of Appeal. The downside of this section is that it provides a person should not be qualified for appointment as chairman of an appeal tribunal, unless the person: – [16]
a) Is or has been a Supreme Court judge
b) is qualified to be a Supreme Court judge
c) Has been a member of Legal Service India and has held a post in Grade I of that service for at least three years
d) He has served as president of the Court of debt recovery for at least three years.
In other words, we can say that this section prescribe the qualifications and eligibility of persons for appointment as chairman the Court of Appeal. The person must have a degree to become a judge of the Supreme Court or has been a member of the legal services holding the post of Grade I for at least three years or office held as president of a court for at least three years. The Court of Appeal must be addressed by a person who is appropriate legal experience with exposure to banking, industrial finance and other related issues and experience to act as such. The central government should appoint only those persons who meet the requirements of Article 10, the recovery of the debt to banks and financial Institutions Act, 1993.
The term of office of President of the Court of Appeal explained in section 11 of Act. Article 11 sets out the terms of office of chairpersons of Court of Appeal, and requires that the president serves for a term of five years from the date of entry to his office or until they complete the age of sixty-two years or ever is earlier.
Salary, benefits and other services:
Section 13 of the Act provides salary and pension and other terms and conditions of service of Chief Justice and the presidents of the Court of Appeal. This section says that salaries and allowances payable the other terms and conditions of service, including gratutity pension and other benefits retire the Chief Justice and the person presiding judge of appeal must be such that may be imposed by central government. The amended provision of the section is mandatory and says that the salary and pension and other terms and conditions serve President will not be changed to the detriment of their appointment. The government has the power to change the salary, allowances and other terms and conditions of service of the President President or court official.
This section deals with service conditions and emoluments of the president of a court or appellate court president requirements of rules framed by the central government. The proviso to this section orders that there should be no change in pay and conditions of service to the detriment of the same after the official appointment as such chairman or chairwoman. This contingency arises only when the President or the President of the Court of Appeal is selected and appointed outside people who are already in service. Thus, their service conditions and emoluments are protected under this provision. The central government therefore has to look like previous view while appointing a presiding officer of a tribunal or chairman of a Court of Appeal.
Filling of vacancies:
The question regarding the filling of vacancies which have been addressed in Section 14 of the recovery of the debt with banks and Institutions Act Financial, 1993. Article 14 provides that in the case of vacancies in the office of the president of a court or the chairperson of the appellate court is not as a mere temporary absence of vacancy by death, retirement or resignation of the following officers or the chairman of the as well as appointed by the central government to fill the vacancy shall continue its proceedings on the stage at which the vacancy is filled. This section makes provision to overcome the post in question. The provision similar to this section are also in order XVIII, Article 15 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and Article 326 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1973 [17].
In other words, we can say that this section deals with filling vacancies in a court or the Court of Appeal. It empowers the Central Government to fill any vacancy other than a temporary absence of a chief justice or president of the Court of Appeal. The section allows the officer presiding judge success or president an appellate court to continue the process at the stage where he had left his predecessor or we can say that the officer can continue the success of the stage procedure in which he had left his predecessor.
Resignation and removal:
Article 15 of the Act allows the Chief Justice or President a Court of Appeal to resign, giving three months notice under his hand addressed to the President from India. This section deals with the resignation or dismissal the presiding judge and president of a Court of Appeal. The sub section (1) is the procedure of renunciation. The presiding officer or chairman of the tribunal claims court may appeal the letter of resignation to his office to the central government under his signature. The provision in this paragraph is that even after the presentation of resignation to his office, the Chief Justice or the President of the Court of Appeals should follow the office until: –
a) within three months from the date the receipt of the notification by the central government
b) An officer who chairs the replacement takes charge
c) The terms of maturity
d) The central government allows you to relinquish his office
In other words, if the presiding judge or the presiding judge of appeal means resign the office which is holding the announcement of the central government's resignation and wait three full months for the acceptance of his resignation and relief office. The government central after receiving such notice of resignation is either appoint a new chief justice or president of the appellate court to alleviate the official resigned. The whole process should be completed three months from the date of receipt by the central government.
Subsection (2) provides that the president of a court or the presiding judge of appeal may be removed from office under the central government order in the proof of the misconduct and disability. [18] The evil word behavior is synonymous of misconduct within the meaning of the dictionary of bad behavior is illegal behavior, which is the behavior that is the deviation from the established standard action. It also means that poor management of the office which implies a wrongful intention. Although it does not alike: the inability to act. Inefficiency and incompetence are synonymous with this word.
Subsection (2), essentially prohibiting the disposal of the Chief Justice or the President of Court of Appeal from office. But the provision is made in the sense that the central government may withdraw from the office when the misconduct or disability of such official chairperson has been demonstrated after the investigation. The research must be done in the case of president of a court by a judge of the Superior Court and If the president of a Court of Appeals by a judge of the Supreme Court. It is also envisaged that the principles of natural justice should continue to report to the charges against them and giving them reasonable opportunity to defend against such charges.
Sub section (3) provides for the drafting of rules governing the investigation procedure to misconduct or incapacity of the Chairman or the President. Thus general rules must be framed by the central government for the withdrawal of the president or chairman of a court Appellate Tribunal.
JURISDICTION, COURT OF POWER AND THE AUTHORITY:
Sub section (1) of Article 17 of the Act deals with jurisdiction, power and authority of the Court debt recovery and says that a court shall on and from the appointed day, jurisdiction, authority and power to decide applications enterain banks and financial institution to recover the debt owed and recover them from the banks and financial institutions.
Power of the presidents of the Court of Appeal:
With respect to the power of the presidents of the Court of Appeals which was discussed in Section 17 A of the Act. It gives power to the President of the Court of Appeal to inspect the court under his control and directs the President of the courts to carrying out their duties properly. The authority provided to the President of the Court of Appeals for the registration of confidential reports and evaluation of the work the President and prevent the arbitrary exercise of the power.
The power to transfer cases is related to transfer of cases from one court to another. This is similar to section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The person President of the Court of Appeal is vested with general power transfer through withdrawal of cases of a court subordinate to it and transfer to another court within its jurisdiction. The other power of the president of the Court of Appeals is the power with overseeing the transfer of cases to the newly created Court of debt recovery. By virtue of the creation of the newly formed debts Recovery Tribunal, both banks and debtors so the public debt would be benefited by it because it is located almost in the center of the three states and in the vicinity of the parties compared with Debt Recovery Tribunal at Jaipur. None of the allegations have no merit and not their views are based in misconceptions. President, Debt Recovery Tribunal is directed to Jaipur immediately transfer all cases pending with DRT Chandigarh, in the jurisdiction notification [19].
Bar Competition
The Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal and the Court courts are competent to judge the matters before them in accordance with the provisions of the Act, rules and regulations framed. Section 17 and Section 18 of the act of going hand in hand. The first sets out the jurisdiction, power and authority of the Court and the Court of Appeal and the second excludes the jurisdiction of the courts civil and other courts in dealing with the case where the amount of debt is ten lakh rupees and above or an amount not less than one lakh rupees as the Central Government may specify by notification. If the claim submitted by the banks for recovery of debt has more than ten lakh rupees as of which it is part of the defendants, The Court has exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute [20].
The Debt Recovery Tribunal are judicial bodies with powers to hear matters in accordance with the provisions of the acts, rules and regulations framed under it. The courts are vested with the same power of the Civil Procedure Code regarding the following matters listed in section 22 of the act are:
- Call and application of the attendance of any person and examine under oath.
- Requiring the discovery and production of documents.
- Receiving evidence on affidavits.
- Issuer fees for examination of witnesses or documents.
- Review of decisions.
- Dismissing an application for default or decide how Exparte.
- Any other matter that may be prescribed.
The authority of expression is often synonymous with power. It is the right to command or act. In the performance of task, the Court may exercise its authority to fulfill the implicit ends of justice. The court may exercise the inherent power to make orders and give instructions necessary to give effect to orders or to prevent abuse of its process. In the case of Rama, Lakshman Cristal SA. Ltd v / s State of Bihar [21] is said to have been under the jurisdiction of the court and having had the opportunity to trial after the court's jurisdiction can not be challenged in the petition resource. The High Court of Andhra Pradesh, held in the case of coal mines Singareni Ltd. v / s State of Hyderabad and others, [22] that the court may pass any appropriate order, the lien is specifically but not always in the law. And in the same way the Supreme Court in ICICI Ltd. v / s Grapco Industries [23], argued that depending on the circumstances of each case, the court may grant an ex parte order of interim injunction or a stay of short duration, but the order can not be granted as a matter of routine.
COURT PROCEEDINGS:
Application the Court
Section 19 of the Act is a code by itself. [24] Before the amendments were only eight subsections. But after the amendment the entire section has been restructured to make twenty five sub-sections with some of the most important provisions. It is the submission procedures the application for a bank or financial institution before the court at the stage of recovery certificate issued to the person responsible for the recovery recovery the amount awarded. The act was introduced to effect a faster recovery of dues from defaulting borrowers of banks and financial institutions.
The cause of action was the right one party has to initiate legal proceedings. It is a right to sue. As regards the recovery of debts due to banks Financial Institutions and Law is the basis of the claim. In the case of LCL Jewellery Ltd and others v / s Bank of Baroda and others [25], documentation was in Lucknow, the petitioner's property in which the security was created is in Lucknow, the loan was approved in Lucknow and the part of the cause of action also arises Lucknow. Thus the territorial jurisdiction of DRT is in Lucknow.
The application must be submitted by the applicant for registration which has jurisdiction about: –
a) The applicant is working as a bank or financial institution as the case for the time
b) The defendant or each of the defendants, where more than one in the time of actual application and voluntarily resides or carries on business or personally works for gain
c) Any of the accused, where more than one when the application is actually or voluntarily resides or carries on business or personally works for gain
d) The cause of action in whole or in part, arises
Subsection (3) refers to the application form, documents to be attached to it and the fee payable to the court. The application submitted to the court that all the conditions set out in section 19 of the law. As regards the notification of citation is that it has been treated in subsection (4) and (5) which states that the service of summons on the defendant and the service of the summons the defendant has submit your written statement within 30 days from date of notification. The defendant claims to detonate it in subsection (6) and (7). Establish compensation is a positive allegation against the applicant which may be raised by the defendant in his defense. When the accused is something the defendants should be taken into account.
The provision of the counterclaim has been included in the act by the recovery of debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Amendment Act 2000 by inserting of subsection 8-11 in this section. [26] There is a difference between the counterclaim and set off. The first is a separate claim while the latter is part of his defense. It is not necessary that the counterclaim must be in the same cause. For Belgundi Cement Ltd. and others v / s branch manager of Bank Central India and others [27], the Karnataka High Court held that the defendants are free to make counter claim instead of filing a lawsuit that the nature of the claim for damages is within the scope of the tribunal to try the case as a counter suit.
Subsection (12) of the Act deals with the interim order. Provides discretion to the court to pass an interim order by injunction or stay or attachment against the accused. This power is exercised by the court to adopt appropriate interim measures, either through court order or stay an attachment or depending on the need the circumstances of the case. The question of the embargo explained sub section 13-16. These provisions are similar to the Order XXXVIII, Rules 5 and 6 of the Code of Procedure Civil. Before a seizure order is passed, the court must be satisfied that the accused is about to get rid of property is or is about to get him out of his jurisdiction. The sub section (14) is related to the assessment of property required to be installed. The duty is specified by the applicant and the property must be set to a estimate of its value. Subsection (15) is related to conditional attachment. May be imposed by the court, but if the defendant complies with conditions imposed Yet by the court on parole should be withdrawn by the court. Subsection (16) refers to the attachment invalid. The punitive power have been discussed in the sub section (17). It is well established principle that the administration of justice will suffer unless the court orders are not respected by the parties.
Subsection (18) concerns the appointment of the receiver or commissioner. Originally, the provision for appointing the receiver before issuing recovery certificate by the court not found immediately. Therefore the need was felt and in this sub section was introduced by amending the Act in 2000. [28] the distribution of revenue from the sale under section 529 of the Companies Act discussed in sub section (19). The sub-section (20) deals Interest Award. Allows court to hear the parties and passed the interim order or final being guided by the principle of natural justice. The sub-section (21) is responsible for providing the copy of the application. After hearing the case, the order is pronounced. Under that provision, the court has an absolute obligation to send a copy of the order to the parties that is the plaintiff and the defendant each. The issue of official certificate of recovery to recovery has been discussed in sub section (22). The main purpose of the court is the recovery of debts owed to banks and financial institutions. Therefore the duty of a tribunal is the awarding of applications and issuing certificates for payment of debts and carrying out the allotted amount specified in the certificate of recovery.
Appeal to the Court of Appeal:
The appeal to the Court of Appeal has been tried under Article 20 of the Act. The appeal term is not defined in the act. He is considered the continuation of the application originally filed in court. This provision of an appeal against the order of the trial. Subsection (1) allows for an appeal against a order made or deemed to have been made by the Court to a Court of Appeal. The order approved by the Civil Court in a case decided by it but no jurisdiction can be challenged by the aggrieved party to the [Court of Appeals 29]. Recently, in the case of Aravindakshan v / s Federal Bank Ltd. [30], it was argued that if the application filed with the civil jurisdiction is well with in the jurisdiction merely because the decree is passed exceeds Rs 10 lakh, the forum for prefer an appeal would not be changed.
The statute of limitations for filing an appeal is 45 days from the date of receipt Order by a party. As soon as the copies are pronounced to be given to the injured party if they are ready the same day. But when copies of the order are not ready in the date of delivery of the order in which they communicated by mail to the plaintiff and the defendant. In the first case the limitation period starts from the date of delivery of the order and the latter after the date of receipt of the order for the part by mail.
Deposit Amount of debt to be filling the application submitted:
The aggrieved party against whom an order is made by the court to determine the amount of the debt liability that person may prefer an appeal before the Appellate Tribunal under Article 20 of the Act. However, subject to deposit 75% of the debt and determined in the court of appeal. In the case of Umakanta Agrwal and another v / s Punjab National Bank and others [31], the Punjab and Haryana High Court held precondition that the 75% deposit of the amount of the debt determined by the court of appeal for taking the file is not a violation of Article 14 Constitution of India. Must the Court of Appeal discretion to exempt or reduce the amount of money depending on the circumstances. In the case of the party at action has not advanced any economic problems that the appellate court may refuse to allow the application for reduction of deposit. [32] In the case Ramesh Maskai similar kanji and others v / s SBI [33], it was argued that, since no strong reason has been shown that the Court of Appeal to exercise its power discretion to suspend the deposit of the court directed the appellant R reservoir. 95 lakh to 8 weeks while the credit was more than Rs. 10 crore.
Procedure and powers of the Court and the Court of Appeal:
As regards the procedure and the power of the Court and Court of Appeal that has addressed Section 22 of the law. This is an important section dealing with the procedure and powers of the court and the appellate court. The Court and the Court of Appeal are not bound by the procedure of the Code of Civil Procedure. The event has its own rules and the respective courts have their own rules of procedure. The courts are guided by the principle of natural justice. [34] The principle of natural justice are not embodied in any law, but which are legal concepts to ensure fair play in the delivery of justice.
The Court and the Court of Appeal have adopted certain powers of Civil Court under the Code of Procedure Civil. The powers of the Civil Procedure Code was also adopted by the Court of debt recovery are:

The law relating to the financing is different matter. The provision of the participation of their officials of banks and financial institutions and the defendant is obviously done to reduce litigation costs and the proper conduct in these special cases Courts and Courts of Appeal.

CONCLUSION:
An Asset Reconstruction Fund with adequate resources was considered as a resource at one time to recover and clean the pile NPAs of banks nationalized. The idea first emerged with the Second Narasimham Report the Committee. One important aspect of the ongoing reform process is thus to further reduce the high levels of NPAs as through institutional strengthening. While there are reasons to expect that a combination of policy and institutional development, new NPAs could in future be lower than the past, the problem remains the huge backlog of existing NPAs, which seriously affects banks performance and their profitability. Several approaches are possible. The previous Commission had suggested the establishment of an Assets Reconstruction (FRA) to take these assets off banks books at a discount. Recapitalization through injection of capital is another approach and has been used in the case of some banks. In the last six years massive budget funds were used for recapitalization of public sector banks. This is an expensive and over time, not a sustainable option. The problem, however, remains and consideration would to be given to review the concept of acute renal failure. "
The climate of recovery in the cooperatives has been tainted by the whole counsel of loan waivers announced in the past. There is growing recognition that such waivers loan penalizing delinquent borrowers and reward honest. State governments often resort to announce bonuses interest leading to a general trend of delaying repayment waiting for this announcement. The Task Force believes that a decision must be taken at all levels that the waiver or deferral of loan recoveries and interest rate subsidies for populist reasons would not be in the future.
The Group Force believes that the powers to speed up recovery procedures cooperation shares, invariably created and delegated to the officers of cooperatives Credit preferably in the upper strata at the district and state. Many of the PACS does not have sufficient assets to cover their debts loans with DCCBs. This imbalance has negatively affected long-term viability of PACS. The Task Force again emphasized that improved recoveries at the level of PACS and PCARDBs is the key to the process revitalization of cooperative credit institutions.
The debt Recovery Tribunals (DRT) were operated for the recovery of contributions the commercial banks were outstanding individual loan above Rs. 10 lakh. Working Group suggests that the existing provisions of the DRT may be applicable to cooperative banks also when the loan size is more than Rs.1 lakh to speed recovery of chronic diseases on quotas. With respect to the most of the shares in the long-term structure, Working Group suggests that the SCARDBs PCARDBs or allow the right of foreclosure of mortgages in the case of willful defaulters. This should substantially improve the recovery position of these institutions and prepare the ground for the securitization of mortgage loans to raise funds market at reasonable prices. This may require some changes in state law for cooperatives to seriously consider with a sense of urgency.
In order to address the problem of excess contributions, the Working Group is of the opinion that there is a need to move the compromise or settlement procedure for the closure of the long wait of overdue loans. To this end, the commission may be formed at district level. This committee can advise base level units also. An authorized person base level unit may be invited to decide on DCCB level gains and losses. Fresco eligibility for borrowers such should be considered on merits and not as a matter of state, provided that the default is unintentional. Lessons from the operating system in commercial banks can be conveniently drawn by banks cooperative.
