THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 26938 of 2003 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of 3rd respondent in issuing G.O.Rt. No. 1794 Revenue (Excise-II) Department dated 19.9.2003 coming to conclusion that the request for refund of a sum of Rs.7,89,601/- is baseless and to effect recovery of balance amount from the petitioner as defaulter by adjusting Rs.1,07,228.70ps. only towards the amount due of Rs.2,23,201.98 as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, petitioner and one K. Pullaiah were the excise contractors of Mydukur village group of “44 Arrack Shops” for the excise year 1979-80 on monthly rental of Rs.1,42,500.99ps. The minimum guaranteed quota fixed for the group of shops was 6,569 per month. According to the petitioner, there was short supply of arrack for the months of October, November and December, 1979. The figures are as follows: October-1979 - 1, 018 ltrs of arrack November-1979 - 3,600 ltrs of arrack December-1979 - 2,274 ltrs of arrack Since there was short supply of minimum guaranteed quota of liquor during the months of October, November and December, 1979, petitioner filed W.P. No. 123 of 1980 before this Court, seeking a direction to the respondents not to demand monthly rental for the month of December-1979 except Rs.10,846.40 and to refund an amount of Rs.64,404.84 towards remission of rental for the month of November, 1979. The said writ petition was disposed of on 11.12.1980 directing the respondents to grant remission of proportionate rentals in respect of 6264 ltrs. of arrack short supplied during the months of November and December,1979 and refund the amount that may be found due to the petitioner. Similarly, some other writ petitions were also filed on the same lines. All those writ petitions were allowed directing for grant of remission of the shortfall supplies by the Department. Now, the grievance of petitioner is that though respondents have adjusted an amount of Rs.4,10,067.00 towards refundable short supplies, the total refundable amount for short supplies was Rs.7,84,940/-. Thus, respondents are yet to refund Rs.3,74,873.00. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Petitioner has filed Statement-I and Statement-II giving all the details as to how he is entitled for Rs.7,84,940.00 against which only an amount of Rs.4,10,067.00 was paid. This cannot be gone into in a writ petition like this. However, respondents are directed to look into Statement-II and pass appropriate orders, after putting the petitioner on notice and hearing him in person. This exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 27-9-2010. MVB.
