Real-Life Situations: How a DRT Lawyer Helped Borrowers:
Case 1: The property stayed in Delhi
An NBFC gave Rajeev Khurana, a small builder, a possession notice under SARFAESI. He only had 45 days to act, so he went to Advocate BK Singh, who quickly filed a DRT application and got the auction put on hold. Later, the issue was resolved in a friendly way.
Case 2: Chennai settles MSME loan dispute
Arun Dev, who sells machines, was taken to DRT for ?74 lakhs owed. The Loan Settlement Lawyer team showed that there were mistakes in the process and that the interest rate was unfair.
