Explanation

The act allows taking the matter to high courts only in some matters related to the implementation of the act in Jammu & Kashmir. However, high courts have been entertaining writ petitions under Article 226 (Power to issue writs) of the Constitution of India. It is possible where non-performing assets are backed by securities charged to the bank by way of hypothecation or mortgage or assignment.
