As per case facts, petitioners challenged appellate authority orders allowing appeals against their mutation orders after condoning delay without notice, citing natural justice violation and jurisdictional excess. Respondents argued against ... the writ petitions' maintainability, stating the West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal Act, 1997, provides an effective alternative remedy that should not be bypassed. The question arose whether the High Court, under Article 226, should entertain these petitions, bypassing the Tribunal. Finally, the Court ruled that the Tribunal is an effective alternative remedy and acts as the court of first instance for such disputes. The High Court's single bench jurisdiction under Article 226 is excluded for these matters, directing petitioners to approach the Tribunal first. The writ petitions were dismissed.
