The petitioner has moved the Employees Insurance Court for an adjudication on the question as to whether it is liable to be covered under the E.S.I. Act. If such proceedings are pending, it is a matter still within the jurisdiction of the E.I. Court to grant such interim order that may govern the parties. Since there is efficacious alternate remedy available for the petitioner, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Hence the writ petition is dismissed without prejudice.
