Tersely the case of the plaintiff is that the plaintiff is a partnership body and is having its office and business premises situated Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 opposite Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala, Punjab, India and Sh.Satwinder Singh, partner is entitled to file, pursue and defend the present suit on behalf of the plaintiff firm. It has further been averred that the plaintiff had since been and is having its business of manufacturing and supplying components required for assembly of the railway coaches, manufacture, sale, supply and other mechanical goods to various departments/ governments more specifically to rail coach factory, Hussainpur, Kapurthala (Punjab) and Integral Coach Factory at Chennai (Tamil-Nadu) India, since the year 1995 and on account of its business reputation and as to being a reliable supplier, the plaintiff had since been having a sizeable share in the supply of said components to the rail coach factories. It has further been averred that for the purpose of running its operations, the plaintiff had taken the premises on rent @ 8,000/- per month from the defendant no.1 through its director. The plaintiff had always been regular in paying the rent and is running its business in the tenanted premises. An electric connection had also been installed in the tenanted premises in the name of plaintiff. Besides all the other documents have also bearing the address of tenanted premises. The defendants/their directors are head strong persons. The defendant no.2 came to the premises of the plaintiff and asked the plaintiff to raise the rent to the tune of Rs.30,000/- per month or vacate the premises, however, the plaintiff through its partner expressed its inability to pay the rent at such a higher rate. Then the defendant no.2 threatened the plaintiff of dire consequences. He openly threatened that in case the plaintiff did not pay the rent at the higher rate, he will forcibly get the possession of the demised premises after Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 throwing the belongings of plaintiff from the premised in dispute. He also openly proclaimed that he has links with high police officials and will falsely implicate the plaintiff in some false case, in case the plaintiff did not vacate the shop. It has further been averred that during the pendency of the present suit, i.e. on 07.04.2018, the Branch Manager, Canara Bank, Mall Road, Kapurthala alongwith 3-4 unknown person came to the property in dispute and tried to take the forcible possession, however, the situation was averted due to timely intervention of local and respectable. On inquiry, it came to the knowledge of the plaintiff that the defendants had mortgaged the suit property with the Canara Bank who wants to take possession of the suit property forcibly and illegally on account of default in repayment of the loan amount by defendants nos.1 and 2 though the plaintiff is not bound by any alleged act of the defendants nos.1 and 2. It has further been averred that the plaintiff is regularly paying the rent and the same has always been accepted by the defendants without any receipt. The plaintiff had requested the defendants number times to refrain from such type of illegal acts, but the latter is adamant and is bent upon to take forcible possession of the suit property after dispossessing the plaintiff. The threats of the defendants have cast a cloud over the rights of the plaintiff. Hence, the present suit. 2. Upon notice, ld counsel for the defendants appeared through their counsel who filed written statement by raising preliminary objections of maintainability, estopple, suppression of material facts and plaintiff is barred. It is submitted that the plaintiff is a tenant under the answering defendant no.1 subject to the terms and conditions contained in the rent note Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 which has been executed between the parties, however, since September, 2017, the plaintiff has not paid the rent to the answering defendant no.1 and is deliberately and intentionally not paying rent to the answering defendants, so the answering defendants have every right to evict the plaintiff from the suit property. On merits, it is submitted on preliminary objections of maintainable, suppression of material facts and jurisdiction. It is further submitted that Satwinder Singh has no right to file the present suit and he is not paying rent to the answering defendants. Rest of the averments made in the plaint were denied being wrong and incorrect and prayer for dismissal of the same has been made. 3. Defendant no.3 filed written statement by raising preliminary objections that the present has been filed by the plaintiff in a clandestine manner and in collusion with the defendants nos.1 and 2 in order todefeat the valuable rights of the secured creditor/answering defendant as the answering defendant is to recover a sum of Rs.27,03,14,225.97 alongwith interest from the properties of defendant no.1 and also that of its guarantors and its directors etc., which were equitable mortgage with the answering defendant and the answering defendant is taking physical possession of mortgaged properties which also consist of the suit land. The plaintiff has deliberated has not mentioned the khasra numbers of the suit property in its plaint to camouflage the facts before the learned court. The plaintiff has just attached the site plan by making the same as ABCDEF. Further the plaintiff has not mentioned in the plaint as regards the date of the alleged agreement of lease if any, alleged to have been executed between the plaintiff and the Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 defendants nos.1 and 2. The alleged lease deed if any, being relied upon by the plaintiff is a sham document which have been created only with a view to defeat the legitimate claim of the answering defendant/secured creditor. The SARFEASI Act has been enacted to enable the secured creditors to recover the secured debts without the intervention of courts and tribunals and third parties claiming to be lesses but not bonafide lessees under leases which are not in accordance with section 65A of the Transfer of Property Act should not be allowed to frustrate this laudable object of the Act by preventing the secured creditors from taking the possession of the secured assets and realising the secured debts. On merits, it is further submitted that the plaintiff has nothing to do with the answering defendant as the answering defendant is a mortgagee of the suit property which properties have been equitable mortgaged as collateral securities by the defendant no.1 and also by its guarantors and its directors etc., in respect of the term loan/limits and credit facilities availed by defendant no.1 from time to time from the answering defendant and which liabilities the defendant no.1 have failed to discharge by repaying the same. The alleged assertions made by the plaintiff have nothing to do with the answering defendant.The defendant no.1 has availed various credit facilities from the answering defendant from time to time and credit facilities the defendant no.1 has failed to discharge by repaying the same the answering defendant. At present, the answering defendant in total is to recover a sum of Rs.27,03,14,225.97 alongwith interest etc from the defendant no.1 and mortgage properties of its directors and guarantors etc. The various loan/limit accounts availed by defendant Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 no.1 from the answering defendants were declared as a non-performing assets account in the books of the answering defendant as the defendant no.1 and its Director have failed to repay the credit facilities availed by them alongwith interest, resultantly the answering defendant was forced to initiate proceedings under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (No.3 of 2002). It has further been submitted that the plaintiff has done any illegal or unlawful act on the plaintiff. The plaintiff is taking recourse to the due process of law as provided under the SARFEASI ACT. The alleged lease is a fake lease to deprive the answering respondent to take physical possession of the suit property for recovery of its dues. Rest of the averments made in the plaint were denied being wrong and incorrect and prayer for dismissal of the same has been made. 4. In his replication, plaintiff has denied all the averments made in the written statements filed by defendants and has reiterated his stand as taken in the plaint. From the pleadings of the parties, following issues were framed :- 1) Whether the plaintiff is entitled to permanent injunction as prayed for ? OPP 2) Whether the suit is not maintainable ? OPD 3) Whether the plaintiff has not come to the court with clean hands and has concealed and suppressed the material facts and has not revealed the actual facts ? OPD 4) Relief Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 5. In order to prove his case, plaintiff did not examine any witness despite giving 15 effective opportunities ultimately evidence of the plaintiffs is closed by order vide order dated 16.2.2019. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the plaintiff and have gone through the file carefully with his able assistance. My issue wise findings are as under : Issue No.1 1) Whether the plaintiff is entitled to permanent injunction as prayed for ? OPP 7. Onus to prove this issue was upon the plaintiff. The plaintiff in this case did not examine any witness in his evidence and ultimately the evidence of the plaintiff was closed by order under Order 17 Rule 3 CPC. The plaintiff`s pleadings are not supported by any kind of evidence, either oral or documentary. Therefore, issue no.1 is decided against the plaintiff and in favour of the defendants. Issue No.2 Whether the suit is not maintainable ? OPD 8. Onus to prove this issue was upon the defendants nos.1 and 2.

He argued that the aforesaid action of the bank who is defendant no.3 thereby auctioning the property of its borrower who is plaintiff falls under the purview of SARFEASI Act, 2002. Arguments heard. To my mind, it is settled proposition of law that as per Section 34 of the Act of 2002, the Civil Court is debarred from entertaining Ms.Poonam Kashyap, PCS CJJD, Kapurthala UID No.PB0561 M/s Mohan Tech Vs M/s Mohan Rail Components & Ors 10 UID No.PB0561 any suit or proceeding in respect of any matter, which a Debts Recovery Tribunal or the Appellate Tribunal is empowered by or under this Act to determine and further that no injunction shall be granted by any Court or other authority in respect of any action taken or to be taken in pursuance of any power conferred by or under this Act or under the Recovery of Debts due to Banks & Financial Institutions Act, 1993 (51 of 1993).
