IndiaJana Sena Party Member of Parliament Lingamaneni Ramesh has requested the Union Minister for Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, to establish a new bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Amaravati. He also proposed expanding the jurisdiction of this bench to include several districts in Andhra Pradesh, including Guntur, Krishna, Anantapur, Chittoor, Cuddapah, Kurnool, Nellore, and Prakasam. Currently, the ITAT has a bench in Visakhapatnam covering parts of Andhra Pradesh. Ramesh argued that the existing setup dates back to the time when Andhra Pradesh was a single state before its bifurcation into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He emphasized that establishing a new bench in Amaravati, which is centrally located and well-connected, would make it easier for taxpayers, advocates, and other stakeholders to access justice locally rather than traveling to Visakhapatnam or Hyderabad.
