Writ jurisdiction declined for disputed offence-report timing, with the petitioner directed to pursue the statutory appeal.

A contested factual question on when the offence report was received could not be satisfactorily decided in writ jurisdiction, so the court declined to examine the revocation challenge on merits. Because a statutory appeal was available under the Customs Broker Licensing Regulations, the petitioner was left to pursue that remedy, and all limitation-related contentions arising from the timing of the offence report and show cause notice were kept open for the appellate forum.

Issues: Whether the challenge to the revocation order and the plea of limitation arising from the timing of the offence report and show cause notice should be examined in writ jurisdiction or relegated to the statutory appellate remedy.

Analysis: The dispute turned on when the offence report was received, which was a contested factual question. Such a question could not be satisfactorily adjudicated in writ proceedings and required determination by the appellate forum. The availability of the statutory appeal under the applicable Customs Broker Licensing Regulations supported relegating the petitioner to that remedy, while leaving the limitation-related contentions open for consideration there.

Conclusion: The writ petition was not entertained on merits and the petitioner was directed to pursue the statutory appeal, with all limitation issues left open.
