9. The r<:levant portion of the Judgment in Citg tlnion Bank Lintited Vs Sub Registrar, Peddapalli and Ors. (stpra I/ is :rs follows: "8. It is needless to obserue that the ciuil Court hns no jurisdictrt>n to deal utith subject matters perta tntg to tlrc .SA RFAIIS/ Act- In tte present scenaio, the secured creditor tuos tTot e peftA to tte ciuil suits beJbre the Courts bel.orLt and. thus tl'Le orders of attachment before judgrne,ttt are not binding ort lhe secured creditor/ Bank. More so, tlut cause ol' action before the Courts belou.t is not uithirt the anbit of ,SARFAES/AcI. lO. Uport.fair reading of S.O. 219 in the liqht of Section 64 of CPC, this Cour-t is of tl,Le uieu that it onlg perteitl,s to n ciuil tlispute betlueen the piuate parties and it does n,-tt ittclude an institrLtional sale under a stcttute. Thouglt Sectiort 64 comes irtto plag onlg after tlrc alienation of the propertll under attnchment amongst ttLe priuate persons, the said legal positi.on does not create an embargo trpott the l?egistrar to proceed tuith the registration of sale ozrliftcates Lurder tltt: SARFhESI Act as the bank is not a pelA to the suit an.d lhe sale is not being effected bg a paftg lo the attachrtott. order.

10. In the instant case also, the petitioner-Bank by follorving the procedure under SARFAESI Act conductecl auction for the subject propert-v and sale certilicatc has to be issued in favour ol the Auction Purchaser. ln vielv ol the settled law, thc respondent authorities have r-ro power to refi-.rse the registration of the sale certihcatc under SARFAESI Act on the grouncl of attachment orders of the Civil Court or other authorities for the I ! same property.
