The petition was declined on grounds of maintainability due to availability of an alternate efficacious remedy of appeal against the impugned order. The contention regarding failure of principles of natural justice due to lack of opportunity of hearing was rejected, as intimations were sent to the petitioner's registered address, and the petitioner failed to notify the change of address.
