CBDT - Delay in filling of SLP in SC - fix responsibility - FM is angry
CBDT notes that about 50% of the proposals for filing SLPs in Supreme Court are received after 60 days of the date of impugned judgement of High Court as against 21 days prescribed in instruction No 4 of 2011 laying down the SOP for filing SLP.
In view of the serious view taken by the FM in this matter, it has been decided that in cases where SLP Proposal is sent to the Directorate of Legal & Research after more than 90 days from the date of judgement, the CCIT/DGIT concerned shall fix responsibility for the delay and the name of officer(s) responsible for delay must be specified in the proposal itself.
