Advantages of Being an SDR in CESTAT
USUALLY a junior lawyer will be carrying files for decades before he is given the opportunity by his senior to plead before the Bench. Here you are who can start pleading from day one.
This is the place when suddenly all your senses will become very active and possibly in your whole life you might have never used all your senses together at the highest efficiency. When you are standing before the Bench, simultaneously you will be listening, writing/noting, talking, thinking, discussing, answering, speaking and also you will be behaving in completely different manner than the way you used to do in your comfortable and secure chamber, during your field postings. Take it as an opportunity to mould your personality for better. Facility wise this is not a bad place than many other field formations. One thing that I can assure you that after completion of your tenure you will be better placed to listen to everyone, you will speak only when it is very essentially required and above all you will develop habit of having patience to wait for your turn to speak. You will develop to have respect for law and rules and above all you will be in position to appreciate the legal and adjudication system of this country. You will start reading the full order for the first time in your life and certainly you will be in position to appreciate the shortcoming of any adjudication order. Hopefully after this tenure you will not be depending upon your subordinates for writing your orders; even if you get it written by your subordinates at least you will read once before signing on the dotted lines. You will certainly turn out to be a better officer now onwards.
