CESTAT Members Transferred

By Vijay Kumar

THE President of CESTAT has transferred Mr. PK. Choudhary, Member (Judicial) at CESTAT, Chennai to the Kolkata Bench.

Mr. Madhu Mohan Damodhar, Member (Technical), at CESTAT, Hyderabad is transferred to Chennai.

Chennai had two Judicial Members and no Technical Member, while Kolkata had one Technical Member and no Judicial Member. Now, with these two transfers, both Chennai and Kolkata have a division bench each consisting of a judicial Member and a Technical Member, but in the process the Hyderabad Division Bench has collapsed. Now there is only one Judicial Member and no Technical Member in Hyderabad. The Hyderabad Bench started functioning in December 2015 and since then, till Mr. Damodhar joined in June 2016, there was no regular Division Bench. And now he is transferred.
