<h1>Finance Ministry Sets Limits for Appeals to Reduce Litigation; Low-Value Judgments Not Precedents.</h1> The circular from the Ministry of Finance's Department of Revenue addresses the reduction of government litigation by setting monetary limits for filing appeals in CESTAT, High Courts, and the Supreme Court. It clarifies that decisions accepted due to low monetary amounts do not set precedents. The circular highlights a case where the Department failed to emphasize this, leading to unfavorable judgments. It instructs Departmental Counsels and DRs to argue that low-value judgments should not be relied upon, and officers should prepare appeals with reference to statutory provisions. The document emphasizes adherence to these guidelines to ensure consistent legal outcomes.
