Resolving of Disputes between Public Sector Undertakings & the Govt. Departments

Authority to resolve disputes: Committee on Disputes controls appeal strategy; Commissioners cannot modify adjudications without Board sanction

The Committee on Disputes exclusively determines whether to pursue departmental decisions or appeals; Commissioners and Chief Commissioners have no authority to modify orders of competent adjudicating or appellate authorities. Mutual discussions ordered by the Committee must take place at the Board level, and any change to an existing adjudicatory order can occur only through appellate or judicial fora after the Committee grants permission to pursue the matter.
