https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108466 An order of the Debts Recovery Tribunal that substantially affects rights or liabilities is appealable, because the appellate scheme under Sections 17, 20 and 21 extends beyond final orders and covers interim orders with operative impact; purely procedural or ministerial directions are excluded. Regulations 31 and 32 were upheld as valid and intra vires, since they fit the Act and Rules, preserve affidavit-based evidence, and permit cross-examination only where sufficient reason exists. The existence of an appellate remedy does not oust writ jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227, though its exercise remains discretionary and will depend on jurisdictional error, natural justice, or a pure question of law. Cross-examination may be entertained only within the regulated procedural framework. en-us Fri, 28 Feb 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:08:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108466 An order of the Debts Recovery Tribunal that substantially affects rights or liabilities is appealable, because the appellate scheme under Sections 17, 20 and 21 extends beyond final orders and covers interim orders with operative impact; purely procedural or ministerial directions are excluded.
