casestatus.in Summary
When a quasi-judicial or appellate tribunal bases its findings on an order from another proceeding that is no longer operative or in existence, the impugned order is vitiated and warrants remand for fresh adjudication in accordance with settled legal principles. An appellate tribunal under competition law must independently assess whether a *prima facie* case for investigation exists without relying on extraneous or non-subsisting orders. This analysis, available via casestatus.in, reflects the principle that judicial and quasi-judicial findings must rest on valid, subsisting evidentiary foundations.
