M.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the appellant's learned counsel who has assailed the impugned order passed by the Tribunal. His principal submission proceeds on the footing that the cryptic finding recorded by the Tribunal is unjustified in law. In defence of the Tribunal's order learned senior counsel Mr. Sarangan submitted that in a given situation where the principles of law are well defined and where the Tribunal is of the opinion that the appellate order does not require interference, whether the Tribunal would be justified in disposing of the appeal through a short summary order.2. We do not propose to comment about the latter submission made by learned counsel which may be valid in certain cases, but we need to observe here that the Tribunal is the final fact-finding authority and that if the Tribunal goes wrong, as we have found in case after case wherein the amount of the Revenue involved is also substantial, the Department is virtually left with almost no remedy ; a referen...
