Section 14 SARFAESI Act | Court Orders Police & Tehsildar to Use Reasonable Force to Evict Trespassing Borrowers, Holds Officials Personally Liable for Non-Compliance : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has directed the Tehsildar of Nashik, backed by police including lady constables, to forcibly evict trespassing borrowers from a secured asset by 16 April 2026, with personal accountability imposed on officials for non-compliance. This ruling reinforces that creditor possession under SARFAESI is not merely procedural but enforceable by state machinery, setting a precedent for aggressive, state-backed execution against repeated borrower defiance.
