A recent ruling of the Supreme Court (SC) in a batch of cases, with the lead case being that of Bharti Cellular Ltd. (Taxpayer), on whether any manual intervention is involved in the technical operations by which a cellular service provider, such as the Taxpayer, is given facility for interconnection. If manual intervention is involved, the payments for such facility would be considered as ‘fees for technical services’ (FTS) under the Indian Tax Laws (ITL) and the Taxpayer would be required to withhold taxes. In this context, one may recall that the Delhi High Court (HC) [319 ITR 139] had earlier held that as these services do not involve any human interface, these cannot be regarded as FTS as contemplated under the ITL.

The legal system in India and the judiciary has reached a stage now where the public openly criticise the judiciary and the News Channels debate even the judgments delivered by the Constitutional Courts. It is an open fact in my opinion that the public opinion at the legal system in India and as to how the judiciary is not able to deliver results meeting the expectations of the public, has taken away the caution to be exercised while referring to the judiciary or the legal system. The respect can never forcibly be received and the respect should come voluntarily.
