Jagdev Singh Talwandi 1984(1) SCC 596 in para 30, the Constitution Bench of Supreme Court in 1983, drew the attention of the Courts/Tribunal of the serious difficulties caused on account of a practice by the adjudicating authorities including High Courts/Commissions, that of pronouncing the final operative part of the orders without supporting reasons. 2. This was later again discussed by this Court in Anil Rai Vs. State of Bihar 2001(7) SCC 318. “Undisputedly, the rights of the aggrieved parties are being prejudiced if the reasons are not available to them to avail of the legal remedy of approaching the Court where the reasons can be scrutinized. It indeed amounts to defeating the rights of the party aggrieved to challenge the impugned judgment on merits and even the succeeding party is unable to obtain the fruits of success of the litigation.”...

Section 18 of the RERA Act specifies that the remedies are ―without prejudice to any other remedy available‖. We place reliance on this judgment, in M/s Imperia Structures Ltd. v. Anil Patni and Anr, wherein it has been held that Proviso to Section 71(1) of the RERA Act entitles a complainant who had initiated proceedings under the CP Act before the RERA Act came into force, to withdraw the proceedings under the CP Act with the permission of the Forum or Commission and file an appropriate application before the adjudicating officer under the RERA Act. The proviso thus gives a right or an option to the complainant concerned but does not statutorily force him to withdraw such complaint nor do the provisions of the RERA Act create any mechanism for transfer of such pending proceedings to authorities under the RERA Act...

"The railways were required to lead the evidence and explain the late arrival of train to establish and prove that delay occurred because of the reasons beyond their control. At least the railways were required to explain the delay which the railways failed. It cannot be disputed that every passenger's time is precious and they might have booked the tickets for further journey, like in the present case from Jammu to Srinagar and thereafter further journey."...
