The HC held that an alternative appellate remedy is not an absolute bar to writ jurisdiction where breach of natural justice is alleged. Refusal to supply unrelied documents and allow cross-examination, despite earlier directions in proceedings under the same show cause notice, vitiated the adjudication against four petitioners; their GST and Compensation Cess demands were quashed and the matters remanded for fresh adjudication with documents, replies, hearing and cross-examination. A fifth petition was dismissed because the petitioner had not appeared before the adjudicating authority or sought those procedural safeguards, though liberty was reserved to pursue the statutory remedy.
