In most organisations, there is a single Standing Counsel, supposed to be the head of litigation for that particular court, and with the power to mark cases to Addl. Standing Counsel. But again, it differs from organisation to organisation and state to state.
Government pleaders are like full time employees of the govt, like an additional advocate general or public prosecutor etc.
Standing counsel is a panel of advocates with their independent practice who are also qualified to take up government matters. You can be standing counsel for many Govt entities and PSUs at once, in addition to your private client matters.
I did some background check & I found that the Partner concerned is a standing counsel for CBDT & CBIC, Now I know that GPs (government pleaders) are paid erratically & sometimes they are not even paid on time at all.
That being said how is it that SDS can afford to pay so much? Also anybody here who practices DT as well as IDT? It is really tough to imagine someone working in both silos of tax.
PS:- i do not mean any offence to the folks over at SDS but something seems off & I just want clarification
