    Solution

    The doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies suggests that a person should utilize available administrative remedies before approaching courts, unless such remedies are manifestly futile, ineffective, or unreasonably delayed. However, the Supreme Court has held that this is not an absolute rule and courts have discretion to intervene if substantial prejudice occurs. [Citation: Directorate of Education v. S.C. Pandey (1989) 2 SCC 177]
