It was contended that the impugned order was communicated to the petitioner without affording any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court perused all the documents including the Circular issued by the Ministry of Finance in which the Ministry took a categorical stand that before rejection of the declaration, the Designated Authority will give an opportunity of hearing to the applicant concerned. The Court found that there was a non-compliance of this order on the part of the Designated Authority which resulted in violation of principles of natural justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accordingly, it was held that the matter deserved to be reconsidered. The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remanded back to the concerned Designated Authority for fresh consideration. [Pierian Services (P) Ltd. v.
