    "content": "(1) Subject to subsection (2), a person who is aggrieved by an administrative action may, without unreasonable delay, apply for judicial review of any administrative action to the High Court or to a subordinate court upon which original jurisdiction is conferred pursuant to Article 22(3) of the Constitution. (2) The High Court or a subordinate court under sub-section (1)shall not review an administrative action or decision under this Act unless the mechanisms including internal mechanisms for appeal or review and all remedies available under any other written law are first exhausted. (3) The High Court or a subordinate Court shall, if it is not satisfied that the remedies referred to in subsection (2) have been exhausted, direct that applicant shall first exhaust such remedy before instituting proceedings under sub-section (1). (4) Notwithstanding subsection (3), the High Court or a subordinate Court may, in exceptional circumstances and on application by the applicant, exempt such person from the obligation to exhaust any remedy if the court considers such exemption to be in the interest of justice. (5) A person aggrieved by an order made in the exercise of thejudicial review jurisdiction of the High Court may appeal to the Court of Appeal. We have introduced a very novel amendment in Clause 8(1) to conform with Article 22(3) which gives now, under the Constitution the subordinate court an original jurisdiction to determine matters of judicial review."
