SC Directs High Courts to Entertain Matters under Jurisdiction of DRT and DRAT due to Vacancy

The SC has, in State Bar Council of Madhya Pradesh v. Union of India,[1] requested the concerned High Courts to entertain matters falling under the jurisdiction of Debt Recovery Tribunals (‘DRTs’) and Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals (‘DRATs’) under Article 226 of the Constitution of India with a view to resolve the problems being faced by litigants due to non-appointment of members in DRT and DRAT. The SC has, however, clarified that such arrangement is purely a stop-gap measure until the Tribunals are constituted.
