The petitioner has filed the present application inter alia stating that the direction issued by this Court in terms of judgment dated 13.08.2024 has not been complied with and the refund has not been processed. 2.

Mr. Rai, the learned counsel appearing for the Revenue states that refund was processed and also issued. However, it was returned back as there was a mis-match with the petitioner‟s Permanent Account Number (PAN) number and her bank account.

"3. That the Petitioner got married in the month of February, 2008 and her surname was changed from „Chawla‟ to „Bhasin‟. The new PAN of the Petitioner is AXKPB5100D and the petitioner has thereafter been regularly filing her returns under this PAN. That the present savings account of the Petitioner is with HDFC Bank, Defence Colony Market Branch, New Delhi having account number 50100120850824 and the IFSC code for the same is HDFC0004113. Since, the Petitioner is presently operating the abovementioned bank account with HDFC Bank, therefore, it would be the earnest prayer of the Petitioner that the Respondents may also be directed to remit the refund claimed in this writ petition in this account only." 3.
