Therefore, the order passed by learned third member as well as the difference of opinion expressed, generally, by differing member without precise formulation of the point of difference of the Tribunal cannot be entertained. In the result, this appeal succeeds and is allowed. The orders of the learned third member as well as the difference of opinion formulated by the differing members of the Division Bench are set aside.
