MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Thursday invoked suo motu its power under the Constitution to protect and secure the interest of litigants who, despite being ready to approach the DRAT(Mumbai) for consideration of their grievances, are left either without the appellate remedy or are forced to take the risk of approaching the HC for a judicial review of the orders passed by the DRTs, which would indeed entail limited scrutiny on settled parameters.
There is no chairperson heading the DRT appellate tribunal.
The HC bench of chief justice Dipankar Datta and Justice MS Karnik passed the order in petitions filed by Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait vs Union of India and MSTC Ltd versus Standard Chartered Bank against recovery proceedings.
