Enterprises in relation to T.V.Telecasting and other rights in respect of the said pictures. 3. Nobody is present on behalf of the petitioner despite the fact that this matter has been shown on the weekly board since last week. We are of the considered view that the present petition is not maintainable in view of the alternate, efficacious remedy available to the petitioner. It would have been better for the petitioner to institute appropriate proceeding for recovery of the amount. The averment made in the writ petition that the petitioner has no alternative efficacious remedy is not correct. We find no merit in the petition and the same is liable to be dismissed as not maintainable. 4. Writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. Both parties to bear their own costs.
