Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of judicial review in the context of alternative remedies, specifically regarding the termination of a dealership agreement under Clause 55. The Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition was justified as the appellant had an alternative remedy available through arbitration, which was subsequently invoked. The judgment emphasized that judicial review is not warranted when an alternative remedy exists, thereby upholding the principle of exhaustion of remedies before seeking judicial intervention.
