¶24

The common order passed in the Writ Petition is the subject matter of the present Writ Appeal.

¶25

2. The writ Court has elaborately considered the arguments advanced by the appellant/ Writ Petitioner and relegated the parties to approach the appellate Authority, since the order challenged is the order-in-original passed by the Authority. Exhausting the alternate remedy under the statute is of paramount importance and the disputed facts are to be adjudicated in the manner known to law. The High Court in exercise of power of judicial review cannot adjudicate such disputed issues, which requires scrutinization of documents in original and records.

¶26

3. In view of the fact that the learned Single Judge relegated the appellant to approach the appellate Authority under the provisions of the Act,
