Adjudicating SCN after long gap of 11 years - Matter was kept pending - Clearly, the Revenue has thoroughly failed to justify its lapse for not adjudicating the Demand Notice dated 2.8.2007 for more than 11 years. Quite apart, as is discernible from the contents of paragraph 3.3 of the reply, during the shifting of the office, papers pertaining to the Demand Notice dated 2.8.2007 are not traceable. - Thus, allowing the Revenue at this stage to proceed with the adjudication of the notice dated 2.8.2007, would be an exercise in futility, in breach of the principles of natural justice and against the principle laid down by this Court. - HC
