Area Based Exemption – no double jeopardy?
One main reason for our reasonable success in bringing you the latest with the best possible incisive analyses, is that we have a team of highly committed, talented and intensive research ‘volunteers’ who are ever ready to share their wisdom with the rest of the world. They do it not for money, not for fame, but just for the love of it and we often bask in the glory of their hard work. Whenever we carry an article that has far reaching consequences, we get the article analysed by several experts, so that the best reaches you.

And here is the other view on the CBEC’s clarification.
