Inordinate delay in adjudication of show cause notice by revenue authorities constitutes breach of fair procedure and violates principles of natural justice, causing prejudice to petitioners. Adjudicating authorities are obligated to adjudicate within reasonable time, failure of which warrants quashing of delayed adjudications lacking compelling justification.
