Member(T) Joins in Chennai CESTAT
THE Chennai Bench of the CESTAT was without a Technical Member for sometime since the retirement of Mathew John. Yesterday R. Periasami has assumed charge as Member (Technical). He will have a two year term. He was earlier Service Tax Commissioner in Chennai. And that creates a problem - appeals against his orders, as Service Tax Commissioner will have to be heard by a different Bench. Of course Chennai is to get one more Bench soon.
