The Hon’ble Supreme Court in
the case of Madras Bar Association v. Union of India [Transferred Case (C)
No. 150 / 2006, decided on 25.09.2014] held:
“Keeping in mind the fact,
that in terms of Section 15 of the NTT Act, the NTT would hear appeals from the
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate
Tribunal (CESTAT) only on substantial questions of law, it is difficult for us
to appreciate the propriety of representation, on behalf of a party to an
appeal, through either Chartered Accountants or Company Secretaries, before the
NTT. The determination at the hands of the NTT is shorn of factual disputes. It
has to decide only substantial questions of law. In our understanding,
Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries would at best be specialists in
understanding and explaining issues pertaining to accounts. These issues would,
fall purely within the realm of facts. We find it difficult to accept the
prayer made by the Company Secretaries to allow them, to represent a party to
an appeal before the NTT. Even insofar as the Chartered Accountants are
concerned, we are constrained to hold that allowing them to appear on behalf of
a party before the NTT, would be unacceptable in law.”

A Bizarre, the Most Unsavory Development of all, of its kind, in recent times, THIS :
www.itatonline.org › Home › All Information
Random Reaction (to share own thoughts, but mostly aimed
at provoking the rest all around to give in-depth thoughts, as warranted):
THE Complaint , in one’s independent but unbiased and impartial
view, is, to react honestly, really not against just the named Big four, but against the whole CA
fraternity; if looked through insightfully, call for much deeper reactions, not
just from CA – but from both the fraternities mutually lined against, with the
aim of common good.
If incisively considered and judged, in the ultimate
analysis, it has every potential, not-so-obvious though, to impact, impair and
imperil greatly the very ‘legal regime’; and, in turn, making ‘public interest’ the casualty- intended or conscious of , OR NOT.
To Admn.:
The term “Hauled Up” is contextually the most inappropriate usage
and seemingly makes no sense, except to make the development a sensational one; for an appreciation in, in proper light, suggest to look up any standard dictionary (English
to English).
