Shivek Sharma Legal Heir And Son Of Late ... vs Union Of India (2025:Rj-Jp:36432-Db) on 9 September, 2025
In case of Sushitex Exports India Ltd. (supra),
Division Bench of this Court was pleased to quash and
set aside the show cause notices which remained
pending for adjudication from 1997. This Court
considered the fact that though the petitioner therein
was called for hearing in the year 2006, no final order
was passed immediately after hearing was granted to
the petitioner. It is held that the respondents seem to
have slipped into deep slumber thereafter. This Court
while quashing and setting aside the show cause
notices which were not decided after long delay was
pleased to grant consequential relief to the petitioner
therein by directing the respondents to return the
amounts paid by the petitioner under protest during the
course of investigation with interest @ 12% p.a."
