Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.JUSTICE Dr. Satish Chandra takes over as the new President of CESTAT today. The justice is a very courteous person. Yesterday when I called him, he couldn't take the call, but within a few minutes, he called me back. We don't get this courtesy from everyone. Just three days ago, I called up a senior Revenue Officer; his secretary told me that he was talking on another line and he said he would call me back. I am still waiting for that call.
Justice Satish Chandra brings to the CESTAT varied experience and abundant erudition.
Dr. Satish Chandra is a gold medalist in his LL.M and has an LL.D. He was a professor in several universities and Institutions.
He worked as Director in the Law Commission of India before joining the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal as a Judicial Member. He has been a Judge of the Allahabad High Court from August 2008 to May 2015. He was also a Judge of the High Court of Zanzibar and a Constitutional Advisor to the Government of Zanzibar and a Legal Advisor to the Sultanate of Oman.
Justice Satish Chandra has authored 15 books and several research papers and articles.
We wish the versatile scholar judge all the best in CESTAT.
