The directive included confronting the appellant with the investigation outcome, testing the evidence on record, and considering any defense presented. The emphasis was on granting a comprehensive and just hearing to reach an appropriate decision based on the evidence presented.Conclusion:The judgment concluded by remanding the appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) for further proceedings, directing the issuance of a notice to the appellant and setting a timeline for decision-making.
