As you aware that Central Bureau of Investigation is a predominantly deputationist organization, hence we keep requiring services of officers from different organizations for induction. This would be advantageous for both the organizations. The Bureau would gainfully utilize the expertise and experience of the officers for investigation of complex cases and after their repatriation the experience gained by them in CBI would benefit the parent organizations.

The National Litigation Policy (NLP) formulated by the Government of India aims to reduce Government litigation so that Government ceases to be a compulsive litigant. The purpose underlying this Policy is to ensure that valuable time of the Courts is spent in resolving pending cases and in bringing down the average pending time in the Courts. To achieve this, the Government should become an ‘efficient’ and ‘responsible’ litigant.
– This article is an attempt to analyse the impact of amendment made in section 11A of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and section 73 of the Finance Act wherein no show cause notice will be issued if the assessee has self-assessed and declared the duty payable by them in the periodic returns filed by them and recovery proceedings will be initiated without even providing the assessee with the opportunity of being heard.
I am directed to say that it has been observed that in many litigation cases pending before various Courts, where the Union of India (UOI) is the Petitioner or the Respondent, Government interests are not being defended with adequate diligence. There is, therefore, a need of putting a system in place so that the cases are regularly monitored and the interest of the UOI is properly safeguarded before the Courts of Law.
There are many bulk sections have been removed in Central Excise and Custom from this Budget, 2015. Reasons behind these bulk amendments are that these sections have become redundant. These sections have already get expired and now government think about these expired section and delete these. These sections are similar in Central Excise and Custom.
It is a very old tactic followed by the government that when the interpretation taken by High Court or Supreme Court on an issue is consistently held against the revenue, the best solution lies with amending the statutory provision or adding explanations to it. This is the strategy that the Modi’s government has adopted in this Budget also.
In first and interim budget of Modi Government, first bomb of mandatory aspect fall on all who wanted to exhaust the remedy of appeal. All aspiring appellants who had liability of evasion by way of mala fide act or bona fide had to made stand on same platform for making a mandatory pre-deposit , under Section 35 of CEA,1944 , 129 of the Customs Act ,1944 and service tax was also no exception . Their crime was that they wanted their appeal entertained before Appellate Authority and/or Tribunals.
The Prime minister in his live Lok Sabha Session on 27 February said that they aim to eradicate the ‘grey area’ in the nomenclature so that the ambiguity in law can be eradicated and shackles of litigation can be clogged. One such amendment has been brought in Rule 14 which now finally brings a full stop to the yearlong battle between the revenue and assessee. By this articulation we wish to throw light on the same.
