The State of Bihar 2. The Excise Commissioner, Bihar, Patna 3. The Collector, Bhojpur 4. The Assistant Commissioner of Excise, Bhojpur. Respondents. ----------- For the petitioners : Mr.Ram Badan Mahto For the respondents : Mr.Vikas Kumar JC to Advocate General. ----- 2. 19.1.2009. Petitioners have assailed the order dated 8.8.2008 passed by the Excise Commissioner, Bihar in Appeal Case No.28 of 2007. Mr. Ram Badan Mahto, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, submits that though the petitioners have remedy of revision but that itself does not bar the jurisdiction of this Court. True it is that existence of alternative remedy in certain circumstances does not bar the writ jurisdiction of this Court but this does not 2 mean that in a case in which statutory remedy of revision is available, this Court must exercise its writ jurisdiction. This Court exercises its writ jurisdiction despite the remedy of appeal in exceptional case. The case in hand is not an exceptional one in which the jurisdiction of this Court, in the face of the remedy of revision, is fit to be exercised. In that view of the matter, we are not inclined to go into the merit of the impugned order at this stage. Petitioners, if so advised, may take recourse to the remedy of revision. Application stands dismissed in limine with the observation aforesaid. ahk (C. K. Prasad,ACJ) (Shyam Kishore Sharma)
