Appallent filed MA before DRT stating that DRAT has directed to file MA for extension of stay and no document like Roznama filed. But advocate filed affidavit stating that orally DRAT directed to file said MA before DRT. DRT has extended despite opposition from Bank. During appeal DRAT again not granted stay but MA filed before DRT stating same oral direction and obtained extension of stay. Bank taken defence that " the DRT is "functus officio" and filed 3 S.C judgemnts. the questions are as under :

an advocate isofficer of court . if an advocate has stated a fact that transpired in hearing before DRAT that too on affidavit the court will believe his version as no lawyer will state false facts on oath just to get stay .

 

if he has filed false affidavit then you have complain to bar council against said advocate . obtain copy od roznama of DRAT  in said matter . if bank officer and his advocate had filed a contrary affidavit that no such directions were issued by DRAT , then in such a case DRT would not have passed any order.
