Supreme Court Demands Action on ITAT Vacancies

The Supreme Court has taken a significant step, requesting the Centre to promptly fill the numerous vacancies at the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT).

During a session led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, the court sought a response from the Centre, while also requesting guidance from Attorney General R Venkataramani.

This move results from a PIL which pointed out that crucial positions, including registrars, have been unoccupied for years, thus hindering the tribunal's performance.
