In the circumstances of these facts as well as the non-consideration of several contentions put forth on behalf of the appellants, the impugned order does not commend itself as redolent of the essential qualifications of being legal and proper - the matter be remanded to the original authority for a fresh determination of the conclusions leading from the evidence available on record - appeal allowed by way of remand. - E/86447-86448 & 86621-86622/2017 - A/86471-86474/2021 - Dated:- 22-7-2021 - MR C J MATH .....
