    Case Summary: CRMA 167/2026 Court Decision: The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kathor (Surat) ALLOWED Equitas Small Finance Bank's application under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002, authorizing possession of the respondents' mortgaged property (Plot No. 276, V.K. Park, Tatithaiya, Palsana, Surat). The court appointed a Court Commissioner to take possession within 90 days after the bank deposits ₹15,000 toward commissioner expenses. The bank must provide police assistance and bear all possession costs. Key Reasoning: The court found the bank satisfied all Section 14 SARFAESI requirements—valid security interest, borrower default, proper notice under Section 13(2), and compliance with statutory procedures. Following Supreme Court precedent, the court held that magistrates must assist secured creditors in asset possession once these conditions are verified, without conducting full adjudication or hearing borrowers.
