No Revival Of PSU Litigation After COD Rejection: Cabinet Secretariat

 


The Cabinet Secretariat has issued an important Office Memorandum dated 04.02.2013 pointing out that after the disbanding (pursuant to the judgement of the Supreme Court in Electronics Corporation vs. UOI 332 ITR 58(SC)) of the Committee on Disputes (“COD”) set up to give clearance for litigation between Govt. Departments and PSUs, an attempt had been made by some Govt. Depts/ PSUs to revive the litigation even where the COD had earlier rejected clearance. The Cabinet Committee has now directed that cases where the COD had earlier rejected clearance for litigation should NOT be revived. It has also threatened that violations will be viewed seriously and may attract disciplinary action
