May i know why comments successfully posted and promptly disclosed today morning are now found missing ?!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is only for housing society which is registered under maharashtra co operative society act 1960. Not for other state. So it was remove
ReplyDeleteThe response is, in one's well thought of view and conviction, rather a narrow / in- box perception, hence not quite convincing. For, the deficiencies of a serious nature in the actual audit functions of a CA , as pinpointed, if not all of them but at least some of them, if scouted around, might be noted to equally apply/obtain, -for that matter with more severity, to not only KAR but every other state, constituting a part of the UNION. May be, if cared to, for enlightenment, may look up some of the insightful viewpoints on the growingly vexing topic of Union v State (s) in a couple of the published writings/ speeches of the widely acclaimed legal legend- late ‘nani’.
DeleteIt ought to have been noted that, further, with the material developments in recent times of every general and common significance to all states e.g Regulatory for Reality and 97th Amendment of the Constitution embrace and have already proved/ for obvious reasons bound to be of national concern; not simply concern of just one of its states. Hence, the comments were posted on this blog, despite being fully conscious that it has reference only to MAHA.
Not being inclined to dilate any further, for sake of professional decency and courtesy, the minimum that could have been done is to either inform me before simplistically removing. In any case, now that the comments which seemingly have been removed without giving a second thought, i expect that those be sent to me by e'mail; thereby save me from the avoidable hassle am confronted with, as indicated in my 'rejoinder' @ praja.in (- being the website i have been interacting over for quite some time now). Also help me to once again fwd to those others, including ICAI, to whom a feedback was sent ; as it is possible all of them may not have had an occasion to take a note of the message sought to be conveyed through the subject comments, because of the abrupt removal thereof at your end.
(though left unedited, message sought to be conveyed as above may be found to be clear and sound enough, at least for the nonce/present purpose in mind)
On a second thought, driven by reasons of compassion, to one's quick recollection, in MAHA there are instances in which the statutory audits (of not just the CHS but of the ralated "promoters)'do or may infer-ably not have been carried out strictly in the manner expected or desired. A couple of such instances, being suspect, are in re - 'Podar Cement' (IT case), and 'Nahalchand' (property law case) . if inclined to know more, especially of the surrounding facts, the SC judgments may be intuitively read; also the 'critique' on those judgments published @ Taxguru.com.
