Even though this Court held that petitioner is entitled to refund, no time frame is seen made in the judgment. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of directing respondents 2 to 4 whoever is in charge to grant refund to the petitioner within 30 days from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner.
