2012 (10) TMI 467 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURTNotice - Recall the order - delay of nine years - petitioner filed an appeal Tribunal on 27.12.2001 - case of the petitioner is that there was no communication from the Tribunal subsequent to the filing of the appeal regarding its status and the petitioner continued to be under the bona fide impression for over a period of nine years that the appeal filed by him is pending disposal - petitioner received a demand notice on 4.1.2011 – Held that:- Tribunal was obliged to inform the petitioner - but neither the regulation nor the Act provides for such an eventuality - Regulation 52 of the Regulations no doubt contemplates that every order passed by the Tribunal is required to be communicated within a specified time. But however, that once again pre-supposes that the proceedings must have been disposed of on merits - inordinate delay of nine years has not been explained by the petitioner. The order passed rejecting the Misc. Petition cannot be faulted. It is no doubt true that sufficient cause is required to be construed liberally but however, not so liberal so as to make it redundant and inoperative. Petition stands rejected
