Speaking order must state its own reasons; omission of foundational calculations did not disturb the impugned order.

An adjudicatory order must disclose the basis of its own reasoning, including the material and calculations relied on, and cannot be sustained by a later reference to the show-cause notice when the operative basis is absent from the final order. In this matter, the order concerning floor space index and the comparable sale instance was treated as deficient because the foundational calculation was not stated in the order itself. The challenge to the order failed, the appeal was dismissed, and the impugned order was left undisturbed.

Issues: Whether the order of the Appropriate Authority was sustainable when it did not disclose the basis of the calculation of floor space index for the property under consideration and the comparable sale instance property.

Analysis: The order was found to be deficient because the foundational calculation relied upon for the decision was not stated in the order itself. A speaking order must disclose the reasons and material on which it rests, and mere reference to the show-cause notice cannot cure the absence of reasons in the final order.

Conclusion: The challenge to the order failed, and the appeal was dismissed.

Final Conclusion: The impugned order was not interfered with, and the respondent succeeded.

Ratio Decidendi: An adjudicatory order must stand on its own reasons and cannot be sustained by referring back to the show-cause notice when the operative basis of the decision is not disclosed.
