Issue settlement in departmental appeals: withdraw appeals rendered infructuous after legal change or authoritative decisions.

Identify pending departmental appeals and references that have become infructuous because the underlying issue has been settled by a change in law, a Supreme Court decision, a High Court decision accepted by the Department, or an instruction of the Board; withdraw such appeals and references and report the results of the screening exercise to the issuing authority within the prescribed timeframe.
