The Supreme Court in Axis bank vs. SBS Organics Private Limited has held that the partial deposit before the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) as a pre-condition for considering the appeal on merits in terms of Section 18 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act), is neither a secured asset, nor a secured debt, and hence refundable to the appellant on disposal of appeal. Apex Court Bench comprising of Justices Kurian Joseph and R.F. Nariman made this observation while dismissing an appeal filed by Axis Bank against the Gujarat High Court Judgment wherein it was held that the deposit made before DRAT is refundable to the appellant therein.
