Law Ministry\'s letter dt. 29.08.2013 on appointment of ITAT President (138.5 KiB, 1,480 hits)
anyway good initiative sir
Thank you; nobody doubts Law Minister’s abilities but the concern was whether ITAT is in his priorities at all.
With the help of the efforts of the bar associations in Mumbai and New Delhi, the Tribunal is finally seems to be getting the due attention. Lets hope Hon’ble Minister bestows his personal attention to the ITAT matters so as to save this great institution from further damage.
Thank you once again.
