2012 (8) TMI 931 - HC - Central ExciseBenefit of notifications dated 28.02.1999 and 01.03.2000 - The petitioners never appeared to be interested in seriously pursuing their challenge to the aforesaid orders. They did not make any attempt to restore the appeal which was dismissed only for nonremoval of office objections - Held that: - When the proceedings of the court are made instrumental only for the purpose of whiling away time and to rid off the obligations arising from orders of court of law, it amounts to abuse of process of law - The conduct of the petitioners showed that they acted in that fashion and abused the process of law by approaching court/forums at their own convenience using the process to avoid the consequences of the orders of the competent authorities. It was far from bonafide. The conduct of the petitioners was not honest and their plea was not bonafide. If the events noted hereinabove are recapitulated, it manifests that the petitioners wanted to dodge at every stage - petition dismissed - decided against petitioner.
