            Dated, this the 10th day of February, 2009

                            J U D G M E N T

Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P3, an order of

assessment passed under the Building and Other Construction

Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996. The arguments raised by the

learned counsel for the petitioner show that according to the

petitioner the order is illegal.

2. In my view, if the petitioner is aggrieved by this order,

the remedy available to the petitioner is to file appeal as provided

under Section 11 of the Act. Nothing has been made out by the

petitioner justifying filing of this writ petition invoking the

extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court bypassing the statutory

remedy. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of reserving the

liberty to the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy of appeal.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.

(ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)
