Issues: Challenge to adjudication order imposing penalty under Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.
Analysis: The High Court dealt with a petition challenging an adjudication order dated 20.12.2018, where a penalty was imposed for contravention of Section 7 (1)(a) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 along with specific regulations. The petitioner sought relief under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India. The court noted that an appeal against the impugned order was maintainable before the Special Director (Appeals), O/o the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Aayakar Bhawan, Delhi. Consequently, the court declined to entertain the writ petition, directing the petitioner to pursue the available statutory remedy as per the law.
This judgment underscores the principle that when an alternative statutory remedy is available to challenge an order, the court may refuse to entertain a writ petition. The court highlighted the importance of exhausting statutory remedies before seeking judicial intervention. By reiterating this principle, the court emphasized the significance of following the prescribed legal procedures and hierarchy of appeals. The judgment serves as a reminder of the legal doctrine that litigants must first utilize available administrative or statutory remedies before approaching the court for relief.
