Ten Special Economic Offences Courts for Delhi
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has announced creation of 10 special Courts for economic offences.
These courts are to be set up as per the directions of the Union Ministry of Finance to try cases relating to Customs, Central excise, income tax and sales tax. 101 posts in different categories have been sanctioned which would entail an annual financial implication of Rs. 1.6 crore.
Meanwhile the CESTAT is running short of judges. Will the Finance Ministry do something to fill up the vacancies?
