2011 (5) TMI 876 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURTWhether the said S. Harish is an agent of the petitioner? Held that:- The rule of exclusion of writ jurisdiction by availability of an alternative remedy is a rule of discretion and not one of compulsion. In appropriate cases, in spite of availability of an alternative remedy, the High Court may still exercise its writ jurisdiction, particularly, when the order impugned is opposed to the principles of natural justice. Since the proposition notice has not been served on the petitioner, no hesitation to hold that the order of assessment passed by the respondent is opposed to the principles of natural justice. Therefore, inclined to entertain this writ petition despite availability of alternative remedy of filing an appeal. In the result, the writ petition succeeds and it is accordingly allowed.
