What the Court ordered

In view of the above, we do feel it expedient to record that the Tribunal's finding as regards the applicability of Section 60 cannot but be ascribed to be otherwise in accordance with the known principles of law, having due regard to language used therein and the High Court unfortunately, we are constrained to record, has in fact misconstrued the provision and thus fell into an error.
