Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Maintainability of writ petition; statutory alternative remedy before Central Administrative Tribunal; dismissal at threshold; preliminary objection by counsel for UPSC (respondent No. 2); Union of India respondent No. 1; comparison with Gujarat High Court interlocutory order (23.03.2026) in Jaymin Mukeshbhai Patel vs. Union of India & Ors where Apex Court had granted liberty to approach the High Court; relevance for arguments on when a writ may be entertained notwithstanding an available tribunal remedy.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is dismissed on the ground of availability of a statutory alternative remedy (before the Central Administrative Tribunal), the petitioner having directly approached the High Court instead of availing that remedy. ¶14
