WP(C) 6619/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE A.C.UPADHYAY Heard Mr.J.,I.Borbhuiya, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs.V.L.Singh, l earned State Counsel. All the respondents have entered appearance in this case. As agreed by the learned counsel for the parties, I propose to dispose o f the writ petition at the admission stage. The petitioner, in order to purchase a plot of land situated at Guwahati , had entered into an agreement with the seller. Accordingly, the petitioner pur chased E-stamp certificates worth Rs.1,60,000.00 on 17.9.2009, from the Responde nt No.3, through the Respondent No.2, who provided receipt thereon. However, due to some dispute relating to the land proposed to be purchased by the petitioner , the Sale Deed could not be executed and hence, the E-stamp certificates purcha sed by the petitioner was not required. The petitioner submitted a representatio n before respondent No.2, on 16.2.2010, praying for cancellation of the E-stamp certificates purchased by him and for refund of the amount after deduction of th e charges applicable thereon. However, even after submission of the above repres entation and several personal contacts with the respondent authorities, to refun d the value of E-Stamp certificates purchased by the petitioner, till date no re fund of E-Stamp amount has been made by the respondents. The learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner ha s already submitted all necessary papers/documents required for refund of afores aid E.Stamp certificates, as required by the respondent authorities. I have peru sed the copies of the communications received from the respondents and the paper s/documents submitted by the petitioners. From the communication dated 16.2.2011 made by the Addl. Deputy Commis sioner, Kamrup (Metro),Guwahati, it appears that necessary steps have already b een taken by the authority concerned for release of payment of the value of E.S tamp certificates surrounded by the petitioner. The documents submitted by the p etitioner today in the Court shall be kept on record and be marked as Annexure- X (1) to X(6). In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of with a simple di rection to the Respondent No2, Collector/Deputy Commissioner, Kamrup (Metro), Gu wahati to take immediate steps to refund the value of the E.Stamp certificates i n question, in accordance with the law. The above exercise shall be completed by the respondent No.2 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
