The HC dismissed the petition, holding that the power to issue prerogative writs under Article 226 is plenary but not to be exercised routinely. The court emphasized that where an efficacious alternative remedy exists, writ jurisdiction is generally not invoked absent extraordinary circumstances, which were not demonstrated here.
