Delayed adjudication of show cause notice (about 12 years) - Meger of the assessee - There are no acceptable reason in facts or in law, which would make it possible for respondent no. 2, in such circumstances, namely, of two statutory events of merger and amalgamation having taken place, to subrogate the petitioner for IDFC Ltd. for adjudicating the show cause notice nor can the petitioner effectively participate in the belated adjudication of such show cause notice, by having a reasonable chance of defending the same in the absence of any material available to the petitioner, as noted by us above, even assuming the original noticee was to exist. - HC
