GSTAT. HOW LONG TO WAIT?

[Sadanand Bulbule]

Dear all

In the absence of non-constitution of GSTAT, the genuine litigants are forced to approach the State High Courts which are already over flooded with disputes. Is it a herculean task for the Search cum Selection Committee to select/appoint the most eligible members? Despite 8 years of GST regime, when the GSTAT is likely to see the sunlight?

This is the genuine grievance of most people. Walls are ready, but the will is missing. Indecision is the biggest thing that stands in the way of progress. Can the concerned authorities unitedly work for the urgent constitution of GSTAT to spin justice? Just one more final effort makes the tagline-ease of doing business-successful.
