Writ jurisdiction is not meant to bypass the statutory appeal mechanism when the GSTAT has become functional and a notified period for filing appeals is available. Although writ relief may be entertained where the appellate forum is non-functional to avoid leaving an aggrieved party remediless, that rationale ends once the forum is operational.
