#2. It is contended before us that the respondent-Bank, after dealing with the objections vide their letter dated 13th March, 2007, had abandoned the proceedings and thereafter had taken proceedings under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002, which are admittedly pending before the Debts Recovery Tribunal even as of today. The enforcement of the notice after such a long delay is stated to be arbitrary and without any basis. -2-
