2019 (12) TMI 1079 - HC - Income TaxApplications for selection to the post of Member, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (‘ITAT’) - Applications not considered as valid since all their APARs were not received before the stipulated date i.e. 30.08.2018 - HELD THAT:- No infirmity in the decision of the Committee since for any selection process a cut-off date must be fixed, failing which there would be no finality to the recruitment process; and subsequent documents would be furnished by various candidates from time-to-time, especially in view of the fact that in this case, the Committee found 287 incomplete applications. Mr. Datar submits that since the department has been unable to give any reason for not sending the complete application of respondent no.1; and since furnishing of the APAR for the year 2016 – 2017 was only in the control of the department, respondent no.1 should not be made to suffer. In the circumstances however, he says that respondent no.1 would make a representation to the Committee to enable it to examine the grievance of respondent No.1 since otherwise a competent departmental candidate would lose-out in the recruitment process. Accordingly, we dispose of the writ petition with the observation that if a representation is made within 3 days, the Committee would examine the same.
