SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 15618 OF 2011 ------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 8th DAY OF JULY, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is an assessee under the Kerala General Sales Tax Act. He became entitled to refund of certain tax paid by him in excess. The refund was allowed and the petitioner was issued Exts.P3 and P4 refund vouchers which was refused to be honoured by the treasury authorities. The amount covered by the refund voucher is Rs.26,501/-. Petitioner filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to pay the said amount. I have heard the learned Government also. The fact that the refund vouchers have been issued to the petitioner shows that refund amount is due to the Petitioner. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the amounts due to the petitioner as per Exts.P3 and P4 vouchers are paid to the petitioner within one month from today. Statutory interest shall also be paid on the amount till date of payment. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. AMG True copy P.A to Judge
