High Court interference with fraud finding set aside for lack of reasoning and remitted for fresh consideration.

High Court interference with the Tribunal's finding on alleged fraud was unsustainable because the order lacked independent reasoning on the facts and merely referred to decisions of the Court. Where a question of law arises, the High Court must frame it properly and answer it in accordance with law; absent such reasoning, reconsideration is required. The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration.

Issues: Whether the High Court's interference with the Tribunal's finding on the alleged fraud was sustainable in the absence of proper reasoning, and whether the matter required remand for framing and answering a proper question of law.

Analysis: The High Court had interfered with the Tribunal's findings on the alleged question of fraud, but its order did not contain any independent reasoning on the facts of the case apart from referring to decisions of the Court. In such circumstances, the matter required reconsideration by the High Court with a proper framing of the question of law, if any, and its answer in accordance with law.

Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the case was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration; the civil appeal was allowed.
