Alternative remedy is not an absolute bar if there is violation of natural justice


Quick Summary
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that the availability of an alternative remedy does not automatically prevent a party from filing a writ petition if the principles of natural justice have been violated. In this case, the appellant was denied a personal hearing before a tax demand was issued. The court found this to be a breach of natural justice and set aside the previous order, directing a fresh decision after granting a hearing.
