Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the injunction granted by the Debts Recovery Tribunal under Section 19(1) of the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993 was not permissible as it did not fall within the types of interim orders specified in Section 19(6) of the Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to set aside the Tribunal's order, emphasizing that the Tribunal's powers are limited to specific interim measures. Consequently, the appeal by Allahabad Bank was dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
