    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana quashed the appellate authority's order of 12.02.2026 as it was cryptic and non-speaking, failing to consider any of the petitioner's appeal points or provide reasoned justification. The court held that administrative and quasi-judicial authorities have a mandatory legal obligation to record cogent reasons in their orders, emphasizing that "reasons are the soul of judgment," and remanded the case for fresh reconsideration with a properly reasoned speaking order within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
