Appropriate Authority, Ahmedabad And ... vs Hindumal Balmukand Investment Co. P. ...

The Supreme Court emphasized that an order issued by the Appropriate Authority must be a speaking order, clearly articulating the basis of its decisions, particularly regarding the calculation of Floor Space Index (FSI). The Court held that failure to provide specific details about the FSI calculation undermines the validity of the order, as it does not allow for proper scrutiny or understanding of the rationale behind the decision. Consequently, the Court set aside the order for lack of clarity and directed that a proper speaking order be issued.
