Hassles of transferring pending cases from CESTAT to Revision Authority
THE proposed amendment only says that the pending cases shall be transferred - it does not mention as to who will transfer, to whom and how? These are appeals filed in the Tribunal and numbered in the Tribunal Registry. They cannot be just bundled and thrown into the Government's court. Can the clerks in the Registry take the responsibility of transferring the cases and the related files? Should each case go to the Bench for a decision to transfer? If it has to, then the Bench can as well decide the issue.
Why all these complications? Do they get paid to clog the system with their law-making acrobatics?
