3. The petitioners have utterly failed to point out any manifest jurisdictional error or violation of principles of natural justice in passing the impugned orders, therefore, this Court finds no ground to invoke extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under
[2025:RJ-JP:17617] (2 of 2) [CW-7673/2021] Article 226 of the Constitution of India by ignoring the alternative remedy.
4. However, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the impugned orders before the Appellate Authority. The Appellate Authority shall also take care of the provisions with regard to the limitation in light of the fact that the instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner before this Court.
5. The petitioner shall also be at liberty to raise all the questions and legal objections available to them under the law.
6. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of.
7. Stay application and all other pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
