2016 (9) TMI 1027 - HC - Service TaxMaintainability - other remedies available to the petitioner - petitioner seeking permission to bypass the appellate remedy available to the petitioner under the provisions of the Act by approaching the CESTAT - petitioner submitted that the impugned order is a result of grave inconsistencies - disregard of voluminous evidence furnished by the petitioner - Held that:- it is beyond dispute that to test the correctness of the impugned order, a thorough probe into the factual matrix is required and the question would be can such an exercise be done in a Writ Petition especially when the provisions of the Act provide for a hierarchy of remedies. Thus, considering the complicated nature of the facts involved in the instant case and to adjudicate the correctness of the impugned order, it would be necessary to re-examine the factual position, this Court is of the view that the petitioner should not be permitted to bypass the statutory appellate authority which is not only an effective remedy, but is the efficacious remedy. Hence, without going into the merits of the matter regarding the validity of the impugned order, the Writ Petition stands rejected as not maintainable. - Decided against the petitioner
