Sri Jockim Correa vs The State Of Karnataka on 22 June, 2022
16. It is settled that generally the rule of alternative
remedy is invoked and the concerned directed to avail
alternative remedy, but when it is shown that there is failure
to comply with the principles of natural justice and that has
resulted in prejudice to the concerned, this Court would
exercise the plenary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India. This Court's decision in Sanjay V.
Patil v. State of Karnataka and Others supra is a
reiteration of this settled position. The petitioners contend
that the second respondent's impugned order is in violation of
pri-nciples of natural justice because they have not been
furnished with the annexures referred to in the Show Cause
Notice dated 09.05.2022 and they have been denied
reasonable opportunity to respond to the allegations.
