Issues:
1. Allegation of the appellant regarding non-consideration of written arguments by the Tribunal.
2. Appellant's plea for the appeal to be decided based on written submissions without personal presence.
3. Respondent's claim of the appellant being a beneficiary of fraud.
4. Failure of the Tribunal to consider the appellant's written submissions and merits of the case.

Analysis:
1. The appellant contended that the Tribunal allowed the appeal by the revenue without considering the written arguments filed a day before the decision. The Court noted that the Tribunal did not take into account the appellant's written submissions, which included a specific plea for the appeal to be decided based on the written arguments without personal presence. The Tribunal's failure to consider these submissions led to an erroneous conclusion that the appellant was not cooperating, resulting in the Court allowing the appeal and remitting the matter back to the Tribunal for a fresh adjudication.

2. The appellant had previously filed written arguments requesting the appeal to be decided based on the written submissions without the need for personal appearance. However, the Tribunal did not consider these submissions and instead concluded that the appellant was not cooperating. The Court found that the appellant's plea of bona fide purchase without notice of the fraud by the vendor was not addressed by the Tribunal, leading to the decision to set aside the order and remit the matter for a fresh adjudication by the Tribunal.

3. The respondent argued that the appellant was a beneficiary of fraud and had no case on merits, suggesting that remitting the matter back to the Tribunal would serve no useful purpose. However, the Court found that the Tribunal had erred in not considering the appellant's written submissions and the merits of the case, specifically the appellant's plea regarding the bona fide purchase without notice of fraud. As a result, the Court allowed the appeal and directed the parties to appear before the Tribunal for a fresh adjudication within a specified timeline.

4. The Court's analysis revealed that the Tribunal failed to consider the appellant's written submissions and the merits of the case, leading to an erroneous conclusion that the appellant was not cooperating. The appellant's plea regarding the bona fide purchase without notice of fraud was not addressed by the Tribunal, necessitating the Court to set aside the order and remit the matter for a fresh adjudication in accordance with the law. The decision highlighted the importance of considering all relevant submissions and pleas before reaching a conclusion in appellate matters.
