My article published in the Manupatra's Journal 'Chartered Accountants Practice Journal' in April 2017 issues.
SUMMARY:
SARFAESI Act does not destroy the pre- existing rights that were created prior to the creation of the mortgage/security was clearly laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of Harshad Govardhan Sondagar (supra) and Vishal N. Kalsaria (supra) and the High Court of Bombay relied on the decision given in the instant case.
While the SARFAESI Act is concerned with non-performing assets of the banks, the Rent Control Act governs the relationship between a tenant and the landlord and specifies the rights and liabilities of each as well as the rules of ejectment with respect to such tenants. The provisions of the SARFAESI Act cannot be used to override the provisions of the Rent Control Act.
