P.C. :-

1. A short grievance of the Petitioner in this Writ Petition is that,

though the Show Cause Notices were issued during the period between 2001-

2004, the notice for hearing pursuant to those Show Cause Notices was given

on 14th December 2020 after an inordinate delay of 16 to 19 years.

2. None appears for the Respondents, when the matter was called

out.

3. Mr.Motwani, learned counsel for the Petitioner agrees to issue a

fresh private notice upon the learned Advocate appearing for the Respondents

before the next date. He also proposes to rely upon the Judgments of this

Court and the Hon'ble Supreme Court in support of his contention. He

undertakes to furnish a copy of compilation of such Judgments and also serve

a copy thereof upon the Respondents Advocate simultaneously.

4. Place this matter on board for 'Direction' on 7th February 2022.

5. Till the next date, the Respondents shall not proceed with the

hearing pursuant to the said Show Cause Notices.

                                    [S. M. MODAK, J.]                            [R. D. DHANUKA, J.]
