Violation of principles of natural justice by the authority in passing a non-speaking order without applying its mind to the material on record. It emphasizes that reasoning is the essence of any quasi-judicial order with adverse consequences. The impugned order merely stated that the reply and documents were unacceptable, without addressing the objections raised by the petitioner. Consequently, the High Court held that the order suffered from being non-speaking, violating natural justice principles, and set it aside, allowing the petition.
