K.C.U.Raja vs The Commissioner on 20 May, 2022
In Magadh Sugar and Energy Limited v. State of
Bihar [2021 (5) KLT 667 (SC)], a decision relied on by the
learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner, a Three-Judge Bench of
the Apex Court reiterated that, while the High Court would
normally not exercise its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the
Constitution if an effective and efficacious alternate remedy is
available, the existence of an alternate remedy does not by itself
bar the High Court from exercising its jurisdiction in certain
contingencies.
