for and examine the record of any proceedings, and if he considers that any decision or order

certain material facts, whether available at the time of issuance of the said order or not or in
consequence of an observation by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, he may, if
necessary, stay the operation of such decision or order for such period as he deems fit and
