Sadhana Lodh vs National Insurance Company Ltd. & Anr on 24 January, 2003
"23. In our opinion, therefore, the High Court rightly
dismissed the petition on the ground that an efficacious remedy
was available to the appellants under Section 17 of the Act. It is
well settled that ordinarily relief under Articles 226/227 of the
Constitution of India is not available if an efficacious alternative
remedy is available to any aggrieved person. (See Sadhana Lodh
v. National Insurance Co. Ltd.; Surya Dev Rai v. Ram Chander
Rai and SBI v. Allied Chemical Laboratories.)"
