Accordingly, District Collector, Thrissur has ordered to refund of an unspent balance of Rs. 15,93,935/- on 08.03.2011 to the District Collector, Palakkad. On receipt of this amount, bill of the petitioner will be paid within 7 days. In the above circumstances, no further merit adjudication is necessary.
