*1* kps IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION CENTRAL EXCISE APPEAL NO.121/2007 Union of India. Through Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai-V. ..Appellant -Versus- M/s Real Slotted Angles Company. ..Respondents ........... Mr.R.Ashokan, for the Appellant. Mr.Kishor M. Ruthva, proprietor of the Respondents, present in person. .......... CORAM : V.C.DAGA & K.K.TATED, JJ. Date : 02nd March, 2010. P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the Appellant/Revenue and the proprietor of the Respondents, who is present in person. He submits that he has no capacity to engage Advocate. He further submits that the order of the Tribunal is liable to be maintained and no interference is called for. 2 Having heard the learned counsel for the Revenue and having seen the impugned order passed by the Tribunal dated 18.09.2006, it is absolutely clear that the said order suffers from breach of principles of natural justice inasmuch as neither the contentions of the parties are recorded nor the same are dealt with *2* by reasoned order. The Tribunal is expected to bear in mind that the orders passed by the Tribunal are always subjected to judicial review by the higher forum. Unreasoned order does not indicate the mind of the adjudicating authority. 3 In the above view of the matter, without going into merits or de-merits of the matter, we set aside the impugned order passed by the Tribunal and remit the matter back to the Tribunal for consideration afresh in accordance with law following principles of natural justice. 4 The Tribunal is expected to decide the matter with a reasoned order as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. Rival contentions of the parties are kept open. 5 Appeal is, accordingly, disposed of with no order as to costs. (K.K.TATED, J.) (V.C.DAGA, J.)
