https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304254 Regulation 26 was read as part of a safety-driven mining regime empowering the Board to cancel a shot-firer's certificate after an Inspector's enquiry and report. A prior formal suspension by the Regional Inspector was not essential where the Inspector had investigated the breach and placed the material before the Board. A report with a recommendation for cancellation was treated as sufficient prima facie material for the Board's independent decision. Natural justice was satisfied because the affected person had already answered the report before the Board, and there was no basis to say the Board acted mechanically. The cancellation order was upheld and the High Court's contrary view on procedural illegality was rejected. en-us Thu, 03 Feb 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 12:15:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304254 Regulation 26 was read as part of a safety-driven mining regime empowering the Board to cancel a shot-firer's certificate after an Inspector's enquiry and report.
