Issues: Whether the Addl. Collector had jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter and issue a fresh show cause notice after the Collector (Appeals) had remanded the case to the Asstt. Collector for de novo adjudication on the issues of time bar and filing of declaration.
Analysis: The remand order specifically directed the Asstt. Collector to examine the questions of time limitation and filing of declaration and to pass a speaking order after observing natural justice. Once such a direction was issued to a named authority, the matter had to be decided by that authority and not by another officer. Following the earlier Tribunal ruling relied upon, the substitution of the Addl. Collector for the Asstt. Collector was not permissible, and the Addl. Collector could not expand the scope of remand by issuing a fresh notice and adding new grounds.
Conclusion: The Addl. Collector lacked jurisdiction to decide the remanded matter, and the impugned order was unsustainable. The finding is in favour of the appellant.
Final Conclusion: The adjudication made by the Addl. Collector was set aside, while the remand to the Asstt. Collector remained effective for decision in accordance with the earlier appellate direction.
Ratio Decidendi: When a remand order specifically requires a particular authority to decide identified issues, only that authority can exercise the remanded jurisdiction, and any adjudication by another officer is without authority.
