DRT Chandigarh — Jurisdiction, Address & Filing Details
Matters from Gurgaon, Haryana fall under the territorial jurisdiction of DRT Chandigarh. While Gurgaon does not have a dedicated DRT bench, all Original Applications, SARFAESI Section 17 challenges, and enforcement applications for Gurgaon district are filed and heard at DRT Chandigarh. Gurgaon matters are jurisdictionally within DRT Chandigarh's territory despite the city being part of Delhi NCR. This creates a practical complexity: SARFAESI Section 14 DM applications are made to the Gurugram District Magistrate, while the DRT proceedings are in Chandigarh.
DRT Chandigarh exercises jurisdiction over Gurugram (Gurgaon), Faridabad, and filed at DRT Chandigarh. Identifying the correct DRT bench before filing is critical — a mismatch in territorial jurisdiction will result in return of the OA and wasted court fees. Unified Chambers verifies jurisdictional competency before filing any application.
Gurgaon presents a unique split jurisdiction challenge — it is geographically Delhi NCR but legally DRT Chandigarh territory. Major banks with corporate loan accounts in Gurgaon must file OAs in Chandigarh while pursuing SARFAESI possession locally through the Gurugram DM office, making coordination between the two sets of proceedings essential to avoid conflicting orders.
