Rule of exclusion of writ jurisdiction due to availability of alternative remedy is discretionary and not compulsory; Bombay HC reiterates
Remanding the consumer dispute back to the District Consumer Commission, the Court relied on MP State Agro Industries Development Corp. Ltd v. Jahan Khan, wherein it was observed that a Court may not entertain a writ petition due to availability of an alternative remedy, but the said rule cannot be said to be of universal application.
