Since land is not used for agricultural purposes bank can sell the said land 

 

2) land cannot be regarded as an agricultural land merely because it stood as such in the revenue entries,

 

3) SC has laid down If there is neither anything in its condition, nor anything in evidence to indicate the intention of its owners or possessors, so as to connect it with an agricultural purpose, the land could not be "agricultural land" for the purposes of earning an exemption under the Act.

 

4)bank can auction sales land under SARFESi

Agriculture land cannot be proceeded for recovery of loan. In case the agriculture land was mortgaged then only it can be auctioned otherwise the agriculture land cannot be auctioned by the bank. However, the Bank can approach the Court for executing the mortgage and for selling the same to recover its dues.

Dear Client,

Bar on creation of security interest on agriculture land is not absolute if the land is not under use of agri purpose. Than same proceeded under Sarfaesi Act.

Th he sarfaesi act is not applicable on agricultural lands. But in your case it seems that the lands were converted under the land revenue code and was being put into use fir non agricultural purposes. Therefore the land now did come under the ambit of the sarfaesi act.

1. Agricultural land can not be mortgaged as per SARFAESI Act,2002.

 

2. However, if the said agricultural land is not being used for the purpose of agriculture for long and its locality is proved to be used for residential or commercial purpose, then such land can be used as collateral security and mortgaged with the bank while availing loan.
