Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Appellate Tribunal will not entertain an appeal against an order dismissing an application for non-prosecution where the appellant has a statutory remedy before the Adjudicating Authority to seek recall of that order; the appellant must instead apply to the Adjudicating Authority for recall, which is to be decided in accordance with law.
