Where a statutory appeal is available, writ jurisdiction is ordinarily not entertained against a show cause notice or an adjudication order unless there is breach of natural justice, excess of jurisdiction, violation of fundamental rights, or a vires challenge. Here, the petitioner received the show cause notice, participated in the adjudication, and a speaking order was passed after hearing; the Court found no denial of natural justice. Objections to the consolidated notice and the adjudicating authority's competence were held to be matters for the appellate authority. The writ petition was therefore dismissed, and the petitioner was relegated to the statutory appeal under Section 107 against the Order-in-Original.
