CESTAT Transfers – Ultimatum by President
Last week, the Hon'ble President transferred the two Vice-Presidents and four Members of the CESTAT. As we had reported, many of the transferred Members were not exactly happy with their transfer and we understand that at least one Member has resigned. It seems some others had represented against the transfer.
The Hon'ble President issued another order on 27 th October to the effect that the transferred Members who are yet to get relieved will stand relieved of their present charge of office on 31.10.2008.
That is by tomorrow, all the transferred Hon'ble Members will honourably quit or they are deemed to be relieved.
Obviously they are not given time even to pack up.
So far so good, but will it be ensured that the transferred Members will have a house in their new place of posting and possibly a car? Or should they go round asking for an accommodation in a shared auto rickshaw?
