    Solution

    Section 2(s) of the SARFAESI Act, 2002, defines "secured creditor" as a creditor of a financial asset (bank or HFC) whose debt is secured by a mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, or other charge on the asset or property of the debtor. This contrasts with unsecured creditors who have no specific claim on assets. The Act empowers secured creditors to enforce their security without court intervention under Section 13.
