DRT Delhi (jurisdiction over Ghaziabad) / DRT Lucknow for PSU-circle matters — filing and hearing realities

First-hearing turnaround at DRT Delhi (jurisdiction over Ghaziabad) / DRT Lucknow for PSU-circle matters averages 4–8 weeks for OA and 3–6 weeks for SA. Pendency and roster rotation affect assignment. Written statements should be filed within 30 days.

Pre-deposit strategy for DRAT appeal

Section 18 SARFAESI and Section 21 RDDBFI both require deposit of a portion of the debt before appeal is heard on merits — usually 25% to 50%. In Ghaziabad matters, DRAT applications for waiver / reduction succeed only on demonstrated hardship.

Guarantor liability strategy in Ghaziabad

SBI, PNB, Union Bank routinely proceed against personal guarantors in parallel with corporate defaulters. Reconstituting the guarantee timeline and demonstrating discharge under Sections 133–139 Contract Act is often the strongest defence.
