The learned counsel for the writ petitioner submits before me that in the light of the decision of this Court reported in Vasudevan v. State of Kerala (2004 (1) ILR 235) the party is entitled to get full refund of the Court fee. The Registry has placed before me that a writ appeal is preferred against the said judgment as W.A.1185/04 which has been dismissed by the Division Bench as well. Therefore in the light of the said decisions I direct the Court below to order refund of full Court fee as provided in the decision reported above. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.
