  81. Appeals. - 
  (1) Subject to
  
  the provisions of sub-section (2), any person aggrieved by an order made under
  
  Sec. 30 or Sec. 36 may prefer an appeal against such order to the Director, or where
  
  the order has been made by the Director, to the Central Government.
  (2) Every such appeal
  
  shall be preferred within sixty days from the date on which the impugned order
  
  was made:
  Provided that the Appellate Authority
  
  may, if it is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause
  
  from preferring the appeal within the said period of sixty days, permit the
  
  appellant to prefer the appeal within a further period of sixty days.
  (3) On receipt of any
  
  such appeal, the Appellate Authority shall, after giving the parties to the
  
  appeal a reasonable opportunity of being heard and after making such enquiry as
  
  it deems proper make such order, as it may think fit, confirming, modifying or
  
  reversing the order appealed against or may send back the case with such
  
  direction as it may think fit for a fresh order after taking additional
  
  evidence, if necessary.
  (4) Every appeal shall
  
  be preferred on payment of such fee, as may be prescribed.
  (5) The Central Government
  
  may, on its own motion or otherwise, call for and examine the record of any
  
  proceeding (including a proceeding in appeal) in which any decision or order
  
  has been made, for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the correctness,
  
  legality or propriety of such decision or order and may pass such order thereon
  
  as it may think fit:
  Provided that no decision or
  
  order shall be varied under this sub-section so as to prejudicially affect any
  
  person unless such person has been given a reasonable opportunity of showing
  
  cause against the- proposed action
