Sahyadri Coop Credit Society Ltd vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions filed by Multi State Co-operative Societies under the Multi States Co-operative Societies Act, 2002, stating that the appellants had an alternative remedy available under Section 218 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. The Court emphasized that the existence of an alternative remedy precludes the exercise of writ jurisdiction. The judgment reinforces the principle that parties must exhaust available statutory remedies before seeking judicial intervention.
