fourteen of these orders Hon’ble High Courts have decided various questions of law. In
the rest the Hon’ble High Courts have delivered judgments on the basis of some settled
case law or have decided points of facts or have dismissed the appeal on monetary
grounds. The said orders which have been accepted by the Department have been
complied in the Circular so that cases pending in the field can be expeditiously decided, if
the questions of law or facts involved are identical.

on similar questions of law or identical case on facts pending in the field can be decided.
