HC finds statutory authorities violated principles of natural justice by delaying SCN adjudication for 6-11 years without justification. Relying on precedent in Vos Technologies, the court held that inordinate and unexplained delay constitutes sufficient grounds to quash proceedings. The respondents failed to demonstrate impediments preventing timely resolution or provide reasonable explanation for prolonged delay. Statutory authorities must conclude adjudication expeditiously within prescribed time limits. Given the lack of substantive reasoning for delay, the petition was allowed, effectively nullifying the pending show cause notices.
