Issues: (i) Whether the earlier final order was liable to be recalled on the ground that the precedent followed therein had itself been recalled and the connected matter remanded; (ii) Whether the matter should be remanded to the original authority for fresh consideration.
Issue (i): Whether the earlier final order was liable to be recalled on the ground that the precedent followed therein had itself been recalled and the connected matter remanded.
Analysis: The basis of the earlier final order had ceased to survive because the supporting precedent was recalled and the similar matter was sent back for fresh adjudication. In that situation, maintaining the earlier order would be inconsistent with the later course adopted in the connected matter.
Conclusion: The earlier final order was recalled.
Issue (ii): Whether the matter should be remanded to the original authority for fresh consideration.
Analysis: Since a similar dispute had already been remanded for de novo examination, the same approach was followed to ensure consistent treatment of comparable matters, with an opportunity of hearing to be granted to the applicants.
Conclusion: The matter was remanded to the original authority for de novo consideration.
Final Conclusion: The rectification application succeeded, the earlier order was set aside, and the dispute was sent back for fresh adjudication.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the precedent forming the foundation of an order has been recalled and the connected matter remanded, the consequential order may also be recalled and the case remanded for fresh consideration on parity of reasoning.
