#Tahsildar duty

Madurai HC affirms that electoral code of conduct cannot suspend statutory obligations of public authorities. The court directed the Tahsildar to survey and remove encroachments on public pathways within three months, reinforcing that administrative duties prevail over temporary electoral constraints.

Chhattisgarh High Court holds that a Tahsildar must execute a Section 14 SARFAESI Act possession order within 30 days, even if the borrower has filed a Section 17 application before the DRT, unless a stay order is granted. The ruling reinforces that statutory duties under the SARFAESI Act cannot be deferred on procedural grounds, ensuring timely asset recovery for secured creditors.
