Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax
(Judicial), New Delhi.
In Andhra Pradesh, the one of the Standing Counsels appointed had grossly violated the instructions given by CBDT, New Delhi while conducting the proceedings in the A P High Court. Yet the Incometax Department is continuing his reappointment till now. It is high time such advocates who violates the code of conduct should not be reappointed.
