2016 (5) TMI 1475 - HC - Indian LawsWithdrawal of application seeking Permission to bring the actual and factual position to the knowledge of the Court as an Intervenor - Held that:- Permission granted. Appointment of President and Vice-President of Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal - only a Single Bench of CESTAT is working since December, 2015 - Held that:- The litigants have fundamental right to have their litigations disposed of as expeditiously as possible. The above unhappy trend in Chandigarh Bench is found all over the country. Under such circumstances, we do not find any reason for the Government of India to delegate only the financial powers and the roster preparation work alone to Sh. M.V. Ravindran, Member (Judicial), CESTAT. Extraordinary situation warrants extraordinary remedy under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, in the larger interest of public and litigants and also for smooth functioning of the Tribunal, Sh. M.V. Ravindran, Member (Judicial), CESTAT shall exercise all the powers of the President to discharge administrative as well as judicial functions including transfer and posting for smooth functioning of the Tribunal in the entire country until a regular President is posted. Member (Technical) in CESTAT Bench, Chandigarh be posted within 15 days’ time from the receipt of this order. The order be communicated to Sh. M.V. Ravindran, Member (Judicial), CESTAT and also to Union Territory, Chandigarh forthwith for strict compliance.
