In the counter-affidavit it has been stated that the amounts have already been refunded for the period 1-1-1985 to 31-12-1987.

But in the counter- affidavit it has been stated that the petitioner was not entitled for the refund of the amount. In the earlier writ petition filed by the petitioner being writ petition No.9655 of 1982 the Court had directed that the petitioner was entitled for refund of excess amount paid for a period of three years preceding the date of supplemental application given by the petitioner. On these grounds the claim of the writ petitioner was rejected. We do not find any merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. ______________________ BILAL NAZKI, J ______________________ S.ANANDA REDDY, J August 5, 2004. nmr ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To The Regional Transport Officer, Nellore Spl Government Pleader for Taxes, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad.
