Multan, Pakistan – The Multan Tax Bar Association (MTBA) has formally requested the chairman of the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) to swiftly transfer urgent cases back to the Multan Bench, following its resumption of operations.
In a letter addressed to the chairman, the General Secretary of the MTBA, Muhammad Imran Ghazi, expressed concern over the delay in resolving urgent matters that were temporarily shifted to the ATIR Lahore Bench during the Multan Bench’s non-functionality.
Despite the Multan Bench becoming operational on September 2, 2024, several critical cases remain pending at the Lahore Bench, causing undue stress for applicants seeking relief and stays against coercive measures.
The MTBA has urged the ATIR chairman to take immediate action to ensure that these cases are transferred back to the Multan Bench for timely hearings, noting the critical importance of addressing these matters without further delay. Business Recorder
