Transfer of Hon’ble Members (Dec 2010)

In pursuance of the consultations of the collegium of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal consisting of the President and two senior-most Vice-Presidents, the following Members of the Tribunal are hereby transferred in public interest, in the same capacity, to the Bench/es of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal as shown against their names with effect from the afternoon of 25th October, 2010

I agree with the point made by the Members that it is not proper to continue with the Special Bench when the same issue is pending adjudication for the earlier years before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court. I am of the humble opinion that such continuance will not be in conformity with judicial discipline, propriety and decorum. The appropriate course will be to disband the Special Bench and allow the regular Bench to decide the issues in accordance with law
