Issues:
1. Determination of whether the material removed was industrial waste or pure Methanol.
2. Tribunal's direction to remand the case back for examination.
3. Feasibility of disposing of the matter without testing the material.

Analysis:
1. The Tribunal remanded the case back to determine if the removed material was industrial waste or Methanol. The party claimed it was waste, while the Department claimed it was Methanol. The material was no longer available as it had been used. The Tribunal found that since the material was not tested, it could not conclusively determine its nature. The case was remanded to the adjudicating authority for a fresh examination.

2. The concerned authority raised concerns about the impossibility of testing the material as it was no longer available. The Tribunal's direction did not explicitly require testing but rather emphasized the lack of testing as the reason for remanding the case. The High Court directed the authority to dispose of the matter based on the evidence available, including any new evidence presented by the parties. Testing was deemed unnecessary since both parties confirmed the unavailability of the material.

3. The High Court disposed of the reference, instructing the authority to decide the case based on existing evidence and any additional evidence provided. The issue of testing the material was deemed moot due to its unavailability. The matter was concluded without any costs being awarded.
