Natural justice required fresh adjudication where findings lacked tested evidence, leading to remand for reconsideration.

Appeals were remanded to the original authority for fresh disposal because the findings against the appellants were considered similarly deficient to those in the connected matter already remanded. The Tribunal noted that adjudication had to rest on tested evidence and that a fresh decision was necessary to comply with principles of natural justice. The operative result was remand for reconsideration and fresh findings by the original authority.
