AI extract
What is this about?
The Bombay High Court disposed of multiple writ petitions concerning the inordinate delay (ranging from 9 to 20 years) in adjudicating tax show cause notices. Rejecting the respondents' reliance on call book transfers or office restructuring without justifiable proof of victimization, the Court quashed the notices and orders on the ground of non-justification for the delay.
What did the court decide?
The show cause notices and the order in original are quashed and set aside on the ground of non-justification for delay in adjudication. The rule is made absolute.
