1. It is stated that the refund orders have been issued. However, it is also mentioned that the interest on the refund amount has not been granted. The learned counsel for the Petitioner points out that the interest pertaining to the period during which the C-Forms were not available is insignificant compared to the total amount of interest that is due on the refund. This is because, according to him, of the refund amount, the C-Form component was not even Rs.8,000/-.

2. Be that as it may, apart from the amount of interest corresponding to the period during which the C-Forms were not available (which would be subject to the final outcome of the appeals preferred by the Revenue before the Supreme Court against the order dated 19th January 2017 passed by this Court in W.P.(C) No. 10701 of 2016 etc., Vizien Organics v.
