2021 (4) TMI 1235 - MADRAS HIGH COURTOrders passed by the Settlement Commission u/s 245D - sole grievance of the petitioner stems out of factual matters which have been duly considered by the second respondent after a thorough enquiry and a detailed 'speaking order' has been passed by the second respondent in this regard - HELD THAT:- In view of the fact that the petitioner could able to establish that the first respondent has not approached the second respondent/Settlement Commission with true and full disclosure of his income and during the course of proceedings, offered additional income and the findings of the Settlement Commission would also confirm the same, the said offerings of the additional income would be sufficient for the purpose of arriving a conclusion that the first respondent filed an application under Section 245C of the Act without disclosing true and full income. Thus, the second respondent/Settlement Commission ought to have rejected the application, at the stage when it noticed that the first respondent has not disclosed true and full facts which was not done. Thus, the Settlement Commission has committed an error apparent and allowed the application filed by the first respondent which is in violation of the provisions of the Act. Thus, the order impugned passed by the second respondent in proceedings dated 14.09.2015 is quashed and the writ petition stands allowed
