Government Wants Technical Members for CESTAT

GOVERNMENT has invited applications from Commissioners and above for appointment as Technical Members of CESTAT. The selection is through a long process and God knows how much time it takes for an appointment to be cleared ultimately by the PMO. While new Benches are being started, there are not enough Technical Members to form Divisional Benches.

And the best part of the vacancy circular is this -

5. It may also be noted that, in the event of selection for appointment to the post, no applicant should decline the appointment. If the applicant declines the appointment or does not join the post within 30 days from the date of appointment order, he/she will be debarred for a period of three years for consideration for appointment in any Autonomous/ Statutory / Regulatory Body in terms of DoP & T's O.M. No.27/2/2009-EO(SM.II) dated 16.7.2009.

Many of them will not join if they do not get their choice of posting.
