Subject: Appeals in Supreme Court-delay in furnishing documents by Commissionerates

            It has been brought to the notice of the Board that the copies of Civil Appeals alongwith para-wise comments and brief facts of the case in respect of appeals filed by the parties in the Hon’ble Supreme Court are received very late in the Board from the Commissionerates. As a result filing of counter affidavit is delayed and in number of cases parties are able to get ex-party stay from Hon’ble Supreme Court.

2.        It is, therefore, desired that a report may be furnished to the Board in the enclosed proforma along with all relevant documents including brief facts of the case, para-wise comments alongwith copy of appeal in duplicate within two weeks of the receipt of copy of Civil Appeal from the Supreme Court Registry/Central Agency Section. If there is any delay in sending the papers within prescribed time limit, day to day reasons of delay may also be enclosed.
