Episode Description
In this Lexpresso special, we unpack the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in M. Rajendran & Ors vs. KPK Oils and Proteins India Pvt Ltd & Ors, which redefines a borrower's right to redeem mortgaged property under the SARFAESI Act, 2002. The Court ruled that once a bank publishes an auction notice, the borrower's redemption right is permanently extinguished—even before the sale is completed—reflecting the 2016 amendment to Section 13(8).
By drawing this firm cut-off, the Court protects auction buyers, empowers banks to recover faster, and sends a sharp warning to borrowers: the clock starts—and stops—with the auction notice.
Your 9-minute breakdown of the judgment reshaping India's debt recovery landscape.
