Publication of orders favourable to Revenue – CBEC initiaitive
There is a misconception in the department that private Law Journals do not publish orders that are favourable to Revenue. No publication would take that risk. Even if the journals are assumed to be pro assessee, it will be a disservice to the client if orders against him are suppressed.
In a recent meeting convened by the Board it was noted that several decisions passed in favour of the department do not get reported in the private legal journals. Now the Board wants Commissioners to forward such decision to the Directorate of Publications along with head notes for ease of reference.
We in TIOL will be happy to do this job. If any Commissioner feels that a particular case has to be reported, he can send it us and we will carry the order within a week.
