Article 226 Writ Jurisdiction | Prior Representation to Competent Authority Mandatory Before Invoking High Court: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court dismissed a writ petition for regularisation of daily wage employees, ruling that exhaustion of alternative remedies-specifically, prior representation to the competent authority-is a prerequisite for invoking Article 226. The judgment reinforces that extraordinary remedies under writ jurisdiction cannot be sought as a matter of course without first pursuing statutory or administrative redressal.
