Last year in October, Justice Chandrachud had commended V Lakshmikumaran, founding partner of tax law firm Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, when the latter suggested that the constitution of a tax bench will go a long way in easing the pendency of tax cases before the top court.
“That is an excellent suggestion. I will mention it to the Hon’ble CJI today,” Justice Chandrachud who was then the third senior most judge had said.
Justice NV Ramana was then serving as CJI.
