Where no statutory limitation applied, authorities must initiate proceedings within a reasonable period; the article explains application of the Supreme Court precedent treating statutory record-preservation periods under the Banking Companies (Period of Preservation of Records) Rules, 1985 (five/eight years unless extended) as relevant to assessing reasonableness of delay.
