In Brief
An asset reconstruction company assigned security rights by a bank sought to enforce its mortgage over two properties. The DRT restricted enforcement to only one property, citing the constitutional right to property. The Supreme Court held that when multiple properties secure a loan, the mortgagee may proceed against either or both simultaneously to recover dues, subject only to the constraint that sales must not exceed the amount owed. The Court set aside the DRT's restrictive order and allowed the bank to proceed against both properties, while granting the borrower 30 days to vacate the residential property."> </invoke>
