2016 (5) TMI 392 - HC - CustomsValidity of order - passed nearly 16 months after the date of personal hearing - Held that:- it is common ground that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has emphasized time and again that the orders pursuant to a personal hearing either by a court or the Tribunal or any quasi judicial body ought to be passed expeditiously and within a reasonable time. However, bearing in mind that the Revenue’s orders have immediate impact and parties ought to know their position in financial year to year, it is not proper that such an enormous delay should take place. It is not a case where we find that any reason can be assigned for a hopelessly delayed order. Therefore, the impugned order is quashed and set aside. Petition disposed of
