According to the petitioners, the Legal Services Authority has no jurisdiction to entertain such a complaint. I am of opinion that such a contention has to be first raised before the Legal Services Authority in view of the fact that the Authority is also headed by a judicial officer. In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition in exercise of my discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to raise all their contentions including the question of jurisdiction before the 1st respondent, this writ petition is dismissed.
