2015 (7) TMI 1184 - HC - Indian LawsInordinate delay in pronouncing the Judgment - Held that:- We may notice that the learned Counsel for the Third Respondent wanted to file Counter -Affidavit on merits, but we put to him that we are not really examining the controversy on merits and our setting aside the Order of the Second Respondent is solely on account of the inordinate delay in pronouncing the Judgment, without commenting on the merits of the controversy. We have, thus, no option but to set aside the Order dated 9.3.2010 of the Second Respondent solely on the ground of extraordinary delay in pronouncing the Judgment after six years. Consequently, the Order of the IPAB dated 24.2.2014 would also have to go. We are of course conscious of the fact that this once again sets the clock back, but there is no other option in the given circumstances. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts, we expect the Second Respondent to dispose of the Opposition Application within a period of two months from the receipt of a copy of this Order, based on the records already available and the submissions of the learned Counsel for the parties.
