BankingOther Legal Matters
The Madras High Court has ruled that the DRT (Debt Recovery Tribunal) is not bound by the CPC (Code of Civil Procedure), citing Section 22 of the RDB Act (Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act), and has dismissed a petition against the Central Bank. This decision emphasizes the unique procedural autonomy of DRTs, designed for expedited debt recovery. Section 22 grants DRTs flexibility in their proceedings, allowing them to deviate from strict CPC rules if it aids in faster resolution. This reinforces the DRT's effectiveness in expediting recovery for banks.
