2018 (5) TMI 1459 - HC - Central ExciseRefund - maintainability of petition - alternative remedy - Held that: - the petitioner has an alternative remedy of appeal against the impugned order. The narration of facts noticed hereinbefore clearly shows that certain factual matrix is required to be established for which the first appellate authority would be proper forum instead of invoking writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India at the first instance. The Apex Court in Commissioner of Income Tax and others vs. Chhabil Dass Agarwal, [2013 (8) TMI 458 - SUPREME COURT], considered the question of entertaining writ petition where alternative statutory remedy was available and it was held that Writ Court ought not to have entertained the Writ Petition filed by the assessee, wherein he has only questioned the correctness or otherwise of the notices issued under Section 148 of the Act, the re-assessment orders passed and the consequential demand notices issued thereon. The writ petitions are disposed of by relegating the petitioners to alternative remedy of appeal against the impugned orders.
