Petition dismissed for failing to challenge availability of alternative legal remedy before filing writ
The SC dismissed the petition challenging an HC judgment that had dismissed a writ petition on grounds of alternative remedy availability. The petitioner did not dispute that an alternative legal remedy was actually available. The SC declined to interfere with the HC's decision, upholding the principle that writ jurisdiction should not be exercised when adequate alternative remedies exist in law.
The Supreme Court, through Hon'ble Justices Pankaj Mithal and Prasanna B. Varale, heard the petitioner's counsel but declined to interfere with the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition. The High Court had dismissed the petition on the ground of an available "alternative remedy," which was undisputedly accessible to the petitioner. Consequently, the Supreme Court "dismissed the petition," disposing of any pending applications.
