Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order setting aside the Commissioner's decision regarding the fair price shop license was not legally sustainable due to the Commissioner's unreasoned order. The Court emphasized that the High Court had the option to either decide the case on merits or remand it for a fresh decision, but it failed to exercise either option. Consequently, the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the Commissioner for a fresh hearing on merits, ensuring all parties could present their contentions.
