Serious flaw in decision making process . The grounds stated in show cause notices and basis of orders are not quite same, and these seem to be distant neigbbours . There is denial of natural justice. [Mandu Distilleries Pvt Ltd vs Madhya Pradesh Pradushan Niwaran Mandal. AIR 1995 MP 57. A.R.Tiwari (J)]
