A non-speaking order passed after de novo adjudication was quashed because the authority failed to consider the petitioner's submissions, despite an earlier remand requiring a fresh, reasoned decision after hearing all contentions. The Court applied the principle that an adjudicating authority must deal with the assessee's replies and cannot cure an earlier defect by issuing a bald order.
