The dominant issue was breach of principles of natural justice in a tax adjudication order. The authority failed to consider the taxpayer's attendance at an earlier personal hearing and the documents/objections submitted, and the order did not address the defects raised, rendering it unsustainable; consequently, the impugned order was set aside and the matter remitted for a fresh decision on merits.
