Inordinate delay in adjudication of show cause notices (SCN) - The petitioner, a steamer agent, challenged show cause notices issued by the Service Tax Commissionerate alleging short-payment of service tax. Despite the petitioner's objections and requests for expedited adjudication, there was a significant delay of almost 12 years. The court found the delay unjustifiable, violating principles of natural justice and statutory provisions. Consequently, the show cause notices were quashed.
