Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. Heard, the arguments and perused the Writ papers with care. 4. Suffice it to note that under the guise of Annexure- A, the petitioner has challenged the 7A order before this Court in this Writ Petition. It is pivotal to note that as against the order passed under Section 7A of the Act, there is an alternate statutory remedy of filing an appeal under Section 7-I of the Act. It is significant to note that Article 226 is not intended to circumvent statutory procedures. When a right or liability is created by a statute which itself prescribes the remedy or procedure for enforcing the right or liability, resort must be had to that particular statutory remedy before seeking the discretionary remedy under Article 226. The law is also well settled that a petition under Article 226 should not be entertained unless the statutory remedies are ill-suited to meet the demands of an extraordinary situation. Hence, I decline to exercise power under the Writ jurisdiction. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46965 WP No. 24065 of 2025 5. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Because of dismissal of the Writ Petition, pending interlocutory applications if any are disposed of and interim direction if any stands discharged. SD/- (JYOTI M) JUDGE MRP List No.: 1 Sl No.: 30
