10.2 In view of the above discussion and as observed hereinabove when the powers to be exercised by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate are at par with the powers to be exercised by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate [Section 17(2) of Cr.PC] and the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and Additional Chief   Metropolitan Magistrate shall be subordinate to the Sessions Judge (Section 19 of the Cr.PC) and the steps to be taken by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act as observed hereinabove are ministerial in nature and does not involve any adjudicatory process and there is no element of any quasi­judicial  function,  we see no reason to take a different view than the view taken by the Bombay High Court in the impugned judgment. We hold that the expression “Chief Metropolitan Magistrate” as appearing in Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act shall deem to mean and include Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate for the purposes of Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act.         

10.3 Similarly, when the Additional District Magistrates are conferred with the powers to be exercised by the District Magistrates either by delegation and/or by special orders and the Additional District Magistrates are exercising the same powers which are being exercised by the District Magistrates, the same analogy can be applied, more particularly, when the powers exercisable under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act, are ministerial steps.
