What Every Professional Should Always Remember: ITAT President<\/p>\n

Shri. H. L. Karwa, President, ITAT
\nHon\u2019ble Shri. H. L. Karwa, President of the Tribunal, reminds all of us that character is the professional\u2019s greatest asset. A professional is expected to have high moral character and that is why Courts implicitly trust a professional\u2019s word. The professional is expected to reciprocate the trust by conducting himself in a dignified manner. He cautions us that professionals must be careful never to betray that trust, even unknowingly\n<\/div>\n

Never mislead the judge by (a) wrongly quoting the record; (b) citing wrong or overruled cases; (c) misstatements of facts; (d) securing adjournments for the convenience of clients on the false plea of your personal convenience or ill-health<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Good evening to everybody. It gives me immense pleasure to be amongst you on the occasion of Inaugural Function of the 10th Nani Palkhivala Memorial National Tax Moot Court Competition, 2013. As you all know that the Government Law College, Mumbai in association with All India Federation of Tax Practitioners and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Bar Association, Mumbai is organizing the 10th NANI PALKHIVALA MEMORIAL NATIONAL TAX MOOT COURT COMPETITION from 3rd – 5th October, 2013. <\/p>\n

Last year, I had an opportunity to judge the Semi-Final round of Moot Court Competition and my personal experience is that the quality of representation by the participants in the competition was excellent. As usual, this year also the rounds of competition except the final round will be held at the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Court rooms and will be judged by the Judicial and Accountant Members of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. As all of you know that the Tribunal was created for redressel of disputes under the Indian Direct Tax Laws. The well-known motto of the Tribunal is \u201cSULABH NYAY! SATVAR NYAY! i.e., \u201cEASY JUSTICE! SPEEDY JUSTICE!\u201d This motto is quite relevant in the context of Moot Court Competition. In Moot Court Competition, the moment the participants of both the sides conclude their arguments, the Judges hardly take 5 to 10 minutes to declare the result in the presence of participants appearing for both the sides. In such competition, there is no scope for adjournment of hearing of the case. No Court fee is required to be paid. In that view of the matter the motto \u201cSULABH NYAY! SATVAR NYAY!\u201d becomes more relevant in the context of Moot Court Competition.\n<\/p>\n
