DRT Bangalore — Jurisdiction, Address & Filing Details
Matters from Hubli, Karnataka fall under the territorial jurisdiction of DRT Bangalore. While Hubli does not have a dedicated DRT bench, all Original Applications, SARFAESI Section 17 challenges, and enforcement applications for Hubli district are filed and heard at DRT Bangalore. Hubli-Dharwad matters are filed at DRT Bangalore. The Karnataka High Court maintains a permanent bench at Dharwad (Hubballi-Dharwad) that handles local SARFAESI writs, giving borrowers rapid access to stay orders without travelling to Bangalore.
DRT Bangalore exercises jurisdiction over Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Belagavi, and filed at DRT Bangalore. 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.
The Karnataka High Court's permanent bench at Dharwad means that SARFAESI enforcement in Hubli-Dharwad faces the same day-one writ petition risk as Jodhpur — borrowers can file stay applications locally before the Dharwad bench within hours of receiving a Section 13(4) notice, requiring bank counsel to immediately file counter-affidavits in Dharwad rather than in Bangalore.
