14. wp 6279-11.doc RMA IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6279 OF 2011 Dhananjay Ramchandra Jadhav & Ors .. Petitioners Vs Dashrath Shamrao Katkar & Ors .. Respondents Mr. R.S. Kate for the Petitioners CORAM : D. D. SINHA & SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, JJ DATE : 24th AUGUST, 2011. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. 2. This petition is directed against the order passed by the District Consumer Forum, Satara in Complaint No. 300/2009 dated 30th September 2009. 3. Considered the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel for the petitioners. It is no doubt that the extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India vested in this Court is unfettered. However, when there is an alternate statutory efficacious remedy available in law, the High Court should be slow in exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. Similarly, vesting of the 1 14. wp 6279-11.doc jurisdiction and exercise thereof are two different things. 4. In the instant case, we are of the view that there is an alternate statutory efficacious remedy available to the petitioners and therefore, this is not a fit case where the extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 needs to be exercised. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of by keeping the issues open with liberty to the petitioners to undertake alternate remedy available in law. [ SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J ] [ D. D.
