DRT Chandigarh — Jurisdiction, Address & Filing Details
Matters from Jalandhar, Punjab fall under the territorial jurisdiction of DRT Chandigarh. While Jalandhar does not have a dedicated DRT bench, all Original Applications, SARFAESI Section 17 challenges, and enforcement applications for Jalandhar district are filed and heard at DRT Chandigarh. Jalandhar matters are filed at DRT Chandigarh. Jalandhar is a major sports goods and hand tools manufacturing centre, and SARFAESI enforcement involving factory plant and manufacturing equipment here requires industrial asset valuers familiar with the hand tool and sports goods sector.
DRT Chandigarh exercises jurisdiction over Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr, Kapurthala, 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.
Jalandhar is India's sports goods and hand tools manufacturing capital, and NPA enforcement here often involves highly specialised manufacturing equipment with a limited secondary market — the auction process for hand tool forging presses and sports goods stitching machines draws limited bidders, requiring creative auction strategy to achieve meaningful recovery.
