We are pleased to report that Hon\u2019ble Justice Shiavax Jal Vazifdar has been appointed Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab & Harayana High Court with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office.<\/p>\n
Justice Vazifdar was sworn in as Additional Judge of the Bombay High Court on 22.01.2001. At the time of his appointment, he had a roaring practice in civil, constitutional, company and arbitration matters. <\/p>\n
Justice Vazifdar is a very popular judge. He has an extremely pleasant personality and is very open minded. The learned judge is very patient and goes out of his way to encourage junior advocates. <\/p>\n
However, at the same time, the learned judge makes it clear that he expects counsel for both sides to be thoroughly prepared when appearing in his court. One can also see a high level of thoroughness in the way Justice Vazifdar conducts the Court. His judgements are well researched and written in a simple and easy-to-understand style. <\/p>\n
Justice Vazifdar has mastered the complicated subject of income-tax. He is party to several landmark judgements such as CIT vs. Pruthvi Brokers & Shareholders<\/a> 349 ITR 336, Sahara Hospitality Ltd vs. CIT 352 ITR 38, CIT vs. CA Computer Associates<\/a> 351 ITR 69 etc. He has also delivered the landmark judgement on transfer pricing law (Vodafone India Service vs. UOI<\/a> 37 taxmann.com 250). <\/p>\n We are confident that Acting Chief Justice S. J. Vazifdar will rise to further heights in the judiciary and we wish him good luck in his new responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are pleased to report that Hon\u2019ble Justice Shiavax Jal Vazifdar has been appointed Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab & Harayana High Court with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office<\/p>\n
