(b) On receipt of, and after considering, such report, it shall be open to the Commissioner to modify, annul or reverse the decision or order, or the decision or order as revised after such reconsideration, as the case may be. (c) If the report is not received by the Commissioner within the time specified or such further time as may be granted by him the Commissioner may modify, annul or reverse the decision or order of the Area Committee or trustee, as the case may be.
