1. When equitable mortgage is created the title deed of the property is deposited with the bank/financial institution which advances loan. The possession of the property remains with the mortgagor, but his right to deal with the property at his sweet will remains suspended.
2. Until and unless the mortgage is released the property in respect of which mortgage is created by depositing its title deed, cannot be dealt with by the mortgagor without the permission of the mortgagee.
3. The gift deed executed by the mortgagor is illegal.
4. Since the gift deed is illegal the title has not passed to the daughter of the mortgagor's daughter.
5. The bank has initiated the proceedings under SARFAESI Act, which can now be taken to logical conclusion.
6. If the daughter applies to the court for a stay order against the bank the latter may, in addition to opposing the grant of stay, also challenge the gift deed executed by the mortgagor.
