Case brief
What is this about?
Jharkhand HC (Ranchi), W.P.(C) No. 4907 of 2026, Ananda Sen, J., 13.07.2026: writ petition directly challenging a Section 71-A CNT Act order dismissed since statutory appeal available; petitioner told to pursue alternative remedy; no merits examined.
What did the court decide?
As a statutory appeal is available to the petitioner against the order passed under Section 71-A of the CNT Act, the High Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition filed directly under Article 226 of the Constitution. ¶16
