2015 (9) TMI 1337 - HC - Central ExcisePending cases since long - Engagement of Advocate by the Commissionerate to plead the case on behalf of revenue - who will argue the case - Held that:- We are nobody to comment on the procedure followed by the Revenue. - When complaints are made that old matters are not being taken up and given priority, then, firstly the Revenue/State should put its house in order. There are many old matters pending and for more than 10 years and having serious revenue implications. In the circumstances, let a copy of this order be sent to the Office of the Chief Commissioner, Central Excise and Customs of each Commissionerate. We would expect high level officers to apply their mind so as to enable this Court to take up the old Appeals for hearing and disposal. They must take immediate steps to replace the old Advocates, else we would be constrained to dispose of them in their absence.
