Section 14 SARFAESI Act | State Must Enforce Physical Possession Against Trespassers Even During DRT Proceedings: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that state authorities cannot refuse to assist secured creditors in reclaiming possession of secured assets from trespassers, even if borrowers have filed objections before the DRT. This clarifies that the enforcement mechanism under Section 14 is not stayed by pending proceedings, reinforcing the creditor’s statutory right to immediate possession.
