Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 018084/2000 Sukhdeo Nayak v. Canara Bank Sukhdeo Nayak challenged the High Court of Patna's decision via Special Leave Petition, arguing that mortgage suits should not be transferred to the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) under the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993. The Supreme Court rejected both contentions—that mortgage suits are non-transferable and that DRT powers are restricted—finding instead that DRT powers are wider than Civil Courts. The petition was dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
