Reduction of Government litigation - withdrawal of appeals by Department before CESTAT/HC
AFTER reviewing the reports of the zones, CBEC noticed that some of the zones have changed their zones' figures in respect of number of appeals identified for withdrawal before HC/CESTAT reducing the total number by around 400 Nos. The earlier reported figures were already taken up for presentation in the Chief Commissioners Conference.
So, what they told the Prime Minister were obviously wrong figures.
Board now informs the Chief Commissioners that henceforth the figures would not be changed (as on 20th June, in the chart annexed). Board also requests to file the applications for withdrawal in all such cases immediately and report the compliance to the Board by 27.06.2016 positively.
If a wrong figure had been reported, is it not supposed to be corrected? In any case no two reports match.
