Fashion Planet vs. Superintendent
Held
The High Court disposed of the writ appeal without interfering with the Single Judge's judgment. It clarified that if the appellant files a statutory appeal against Ext.P4 within the limitation period, it must be taken on file, and the appellate authority must ensure the appellant can file it if technical difficulties arise.
Facts
The appellant challenged an order (Ext.P4) before a Single Judge, who declined jurisdiction citing an alternative appellate remedy under Section 107. The appellant then filed a writ appeal, claiming inability to upload the statutory appeal online despite being within the limitation period.
Key Issues
Whether the Single Judge correctly declined jurisdiction due to an alternative remedy, and whether the appellant's inability to file an online appeal warranted High Court intervention.
