Exemption for legal services under Notification No. 25/2012 and No. 30/2012 removes Service Tax liability for individual advocates and advocate firms, and therefore the Designated Officer lacked jurisdiction to pursue service tax recovery for 2016-17; the court applied precedent and held the impugned proceedings and lien unsustainable for want of jurisdiction and failure to afford natural justice.
