I am happy to inform you that our endeavour to establish direct contact with professionals from remote places have yielded a very positive result. We have been able to enroll professionals as our members, wherever we arranged a seminar. Such ventures were very much appreciated by one and all. The last seminar at Satara tops the list in enrollment of new members. As many as twenty two (22) practitioners joined the Association on the spot and many more are expected in the near future, including those from other centres as well.

By now, each one of you must have received the News Bulletin started last month. The purpose of such a venture is to communicate the latest development at the earliest possible time, so that the members can take advantage of such information in their day-to-day practice. As requested therein I expect constructive suggestions from members, for making the Bulletin more useful one.

As the exams of the children are now over, the parents must now be relieved of the tension and strain in that regard. After such a stressful period we all look forward to have well deserved summer vacation. This time however many of us would be at Nepal for our forthcoming International Residential Refresher Course.

As of today there are no news to report from the Court in respect of our Writ Petition challenging the constitutional validity of Section 61 of MVAT Act.
