Adhere to prescribed time limit in filing of SLPs before Supreme Court - CBEC tells field
CBEC sadly notes that in many cases the proposals for filing SLP in the Supreme Court are being sent to the Board much after the time limit of 15 days available with the Commissionerate is over. In fact, in some cases such proposals have been received in the Board after the time limit of 90 days is over. Such delays result in the dismissal of SLPs on the grounds of delay.
As usual, Board has viewed this lapse seriously and reiterates that responsible should be fixed for such delay in all cases. What the Board means is perhaps that responsibility should be fixed.
Board wants the field to scrupulously follow the Board instructions issued in 2010. If they have not followed them for the last six years, what is the incentive to follow them now? Board is going to be serious!
