https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=127784 A writ petition under Article 226 seeking to quash a sales tax assessment order was held not entertainable where the statute provided an adequate appellate and revisional remedy. The petitioner had already invoked the statutory hierarchy, and an appeal was pending before the Deputy Commissioner. The Court applied the principle that the ordinary remedy under the tax law should not be bypassed merely because the route to the High Court may be longer or more expensive. The cited exception to the alternative-remedy rule was distinguished because it concerned a writ of prohibition and a proceeding said to be wholly without jurisdiction. The petition was therefore dismissed at that stage. en-us Mon, 10 Aug 1959 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 15:42:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=127784 A writ petition under Article 226 seeking to quash a sales tax assessment order was held not entertainable where the statute provided an adequate appellate and revisional remedy.
