Mukesh Kumar Agrawal vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of the appellant's license under the U.P. High Speed Diesel Oil and Light Diesel Oil (Maintenance of Supplies and Distribution) Order, 1981, framed under Section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. The Court held that the existence of an alternative remedy does not preclude the filing of a writ petition, especially when jurisdictional issues are raised. The Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellant's claims did not warrant intervention.
