Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Writ petitions challenged delayed adjudication of show cause notices under customs/excise law, with delays ranging from 9 to 20 years attributed to call-book transfer or departmental restructuring. The court held such reasons unjustifiable, especially absent intimation to petitioners, and quashed the notices and orders in original following prior coordinate-bench decisions.
What did the court decide?
Show cause notices and orders in original quashed and set aside for unjustified delay in adjudication; rule made absolute, no costs.
