<br>" There is an inherent right in the mortgagee to, on the failure of liquidation of the appropriate installations by the debtor, thus, to subject the subject plot to sale through public auction."<br>
<br>Justice Sureshwar Thakur and Justice Vikas Suri<br>
<br>Source: Punjab & Haryana High Court<br>
<br>Why in News?<br>
<br>Recently, the bench of Justice Sureshwar Thakur and Justice Vikas Suri held that, the mortgagee has a right to sell the mortgage residential or commercial property in a public auction if the borrower fails to pay the stated instalments.<br>
<br>The Punjab & Haryana High Court observed this in the matter of Sunil Kumar & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors.<br>
<br>What was the Background of Sunil Kumar & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors. Case?<br>
<br>The petitioners filed an instant writ petition looking for a writ of mandamus directing respondents No. 3 and 4 to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and transfer Plot No. 1591-B, Sector 23-23A, Gurugram, to the petitioners in the records of [respondents](https://havensuitesbnb.com) No. 2 to 4. The petitioners also sought a re-allotment letter validating the sale performed by [respondent](https://allmineestates.in) No. 5 on behalf of the State Bank of India under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (the Act).
Respondent No. 5, under the provisions of the Act, offered residential or commercial property No. 1591-BP, Sector 23-23A, Gurugram, through public auction for Rs. 2,28,37,425/- towards the residential or commercial property [expense](https://www.naree-siam.properties) and Rs. 1,72,575/- towards TDS. The petitioners were released a letter of approval of the bid dated 06.02.2020.
After the payment was made, respondent No. 5 released a sale certificate in favor of the petitioners for the residential or commercial property, and possession was turned over by the District Magistrate of Gurugram on 12th October 2021.
On 06th July 2020, respondent No. 5 asked for respondent No. 2 for the issuance of the NOC for the transfer of the residential or commercial property in the records of the participants. On 14th August 2020, respondent No. 2 issued a letter directing participant No. 3 to instruct participant No. 5 to request re-allotment in the name of the petitioners.
Respondent No. 5 subsequently requested [respondent](https://10homes.co.uk) No. 4 to complete the formalities for updating the records in favor of the petitioners, but the respondents have yet to attend to the petitioners' grievances, causing them irreversible loss and injury, as they are unable to utilize the residential or commercial property.
Respondents contended that although they permitted the State Bank of India to create a mortgage on the residential or commercial property, no specific consent was approved for the sale of the residential or commercial property through public auction, and therefore, the sale is not legitimate without an NOC.<br>
<br>What were the Court's Observations?<br>
<br>The Court observed that the participants' contention, which argued that the sale of the residential or commercial property was flawed due to the fact that no No Objection Certificate (NOC) was provided by the worried [authorities](https://barimati.com) before the public auction, was meritless.
The Court concluded that when the respondents allowed the [development](https://www.bandeniahomes.com) of a mortgage on the subject plot, this permission implicitly encompassed the right of the loan provider to sell the residential or commercial property through a public auction in case of the customer's default.
The Court highlighted that the intrinsic right of the mortgagee to auction the residential or commercial property to recover the loan was not negated by the lack of a particular NOC for the sale, as the NOC for creating the mortgage was considered enough.
The Court kept in mind that the respondents did not raise any other objections worrying the sale, such as accusations of illegality or collusion in the auction procedure. As such, the Court discovered that the objections raised regarding the absence of the NOC were unwarranted.
Based upon the above observations, the the writ petition, directing respondents No. 3 and 4 to release the NOC and move the residential or commercial property to the petitioners' name in the records of the worried authorities. Additionally, the Court ordered the issuance of the re-allotment letter verifying the sale by participant No. 5 on behalf of the State Bank of India.<br>
