CESTAT Orders to be dispatched within three days
IT looks as if the new President of CESTAT means business and the cleaning has already begun.
It is now directed that orders received from the President, Vice-President and Members must be dispatched within 3 days from the date of receipt of the order from the Bench. It is further directed that in the event of Party and his Advocate/Appellant/Respondent seeking Copy of the Order, it may be issued by hand after due verification.
Even the CESTAT Registry seems to be in need of an English teacher. Have a look at the Registrar's Circular.
It has come to notice that orders received from Hon'ble President/Vice-President are not dispatch within a reasonable period. Some time even for two weeks or three weeks or for months together.
It is directed that all order received from Hon'ble President/Vice President and Hon'ble Members must be dispatched within 3 days from the date of receipt of the order from the Hon'ble Bench.
It is further directed that in the event of Party and his Advocate/Appellant/Respondent seeking Copy of the Order, it may be issued by hand after due verification.
Copy of the circular is also forward the Regional Benches of the Tribunal.
