Though learned Senior Counsel asserted that alternative remedy is not a bar for entertaining the writ petition, as the respondents have not considered the explanation of the petitioners to the show-cause notice in proper perspective their contentions can be urged before the appellate authority. Admittedly, as against the impugned proceedings the petitioners have an alternative remedy under Section 89(b) of the Act as contended by learned counsel for respondents. In view of the same, this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition.

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed granting liberty to the petitioners to avail alternative remedy of appeal available to them under the Act. As a sequel to the disposal

of this petition, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
