Bombay High Court asks finance ministry to take serious view of delayed decisions on show-cause notices
The bench was hearing a petition filed by city-based firm UPL Limited, seeking to quash a show-cause notice issued to it in October 2010 by the Commissioner of the Central Excise department alleging non-payment of service tax. While quashing the notice, the bench noted that this was "another classic case of lackadaisical approach" by the Commissioner of the Central Excise Department in not adjudicating a show-cause notice issued 13 years ago.
