The move by the ITAT was welcomed by many in the fraternity of tax professionals.

Dr. Y. P. Trivedi, Senior Advocate, pointed out that the Bar Association, under the leadership of Shri N. A. Palkhivala, had urged in the past to the authorities that like all Civil Courts, the Tribunal should have a short break in a year which will give the Bar and the Judges an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate their minds.

The eminent jurist opined that like cricket or in all walks of life, the mind gets compartmentalized and hence gets fatigued because of continuous working.

A small break brings out refreshment of mind and in the result in actual practice, the efficiency of an individual increases after a temporary rest. One feels fresh and more energetic, he said.

Dr. Trivedi congratulated the Learned President for this bold initiative which would give more invigoration to the institute.
