Relevant portion of the order reads as under:- 9. In view of the fact that the petitioner was not provided with an opportunity of personal hearing before passing the impugned order, coupled with the fact that the respondent department has not followed the statutory provisions provided under the Act as stated supra and also in view of the Judgment of this Court reported in [2014] 68 VST 494 (Mad) referred supra, the impugned order is liable to be set aside and the matter has to be remitted back to the 1st respondent for passing orders af .....
