Briefing of Law Officers, Advocates, Counsels & DRS in cases pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and CESTAT

Briefing procedures for law officers and panel advocates ensure coordinated, timely conferences and case preparedness.

Procedures require field formations to monitor listings and hearing records on Supreme Court, CBIC and DLA websites, remain ready to brief Law Officers and panel advocates at short notice, and deputise suitable officers for conferences. DLA will coordinate notifications and arrange conferences where field formations or counsel request briefings; for CESTAT matters field offices must use Tribunal lists and LIMBS, coordinate with the DR and Office of CC (AR), and seek briefings through the DR with intimation to the Office of CC (AR) and JS Review.
