Case Law Details
Society For Tax Analysis And Research Vs Union Of India & Ors. (Delhi High Court)
The Delhi High Court, while considering a petition filed by Society for Tax Analysis and Research, a two-judge bench of the Delhi High Court has held that a law firm cannot report the details of the cases through their website/blog for the reason that any slant in such reporting may lead to multifarious problems which may affect the proceedings and the respective counsels.
The petitioners filed a petition requesting the Court to direct the Central Government to extend various tax due dates. In the meanwhile, an article was published in a blog titled “A Summer of Relief for Taxpayers”, published on https://gstlawindia.in, administered by ALA Legal Advocates & Solicitors concerning the proceedings.
Mr. Puneet Aggarwal, Advocate appeared on behalf of the petitioners requested to remove the blog and to make an unconditional apology to the Court as also to the Additional Solicitor General Mr. Venkatraman.
The petitioners also contended that the order of this Court dated 25.05.2021, will be uploaded on the aforementioned website/blog wherein the Court directed to submit the suggestions of the parties before the GST Council and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
