Petitioner has filed this writ petition being aggrieved by inaction on the part of the respondent authority concerned/West Bengal Sales Tax Authority in refunding the amount as per their own intimation dated 21st September 2020 as appears at page 15 of the writ petition amounting to Rs.4,15,301/- even after making representation by the petitioner by its letter dated 9th October, 2021 as appears at page 18 to the writ petition. Mr. Ghosh, learned advocate appearing for the respondent authority concerned had taken adjournment for taking instruction in the matter and on instruction, he submits that his client shall take all appropriate effective steps in refunding the amount in question along with statutory interest within 10 days from the date of communication of this order.

Considering the submission of the learned advocate appearing for the respondents and without calling for any affidavit, I am disposing this writ petition because of the undeniable fact of entitlement of refund in question by the petitioner.

Considering the submission of the learned advocate appearing for the respondent concerned, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the respondent concerned to make refund of the amount in question as per intimation dated 21st September, 2020 with statutory interest which the petitioner is entitled according to law within 10 days from the date of communication of this order. The writ petition being WPA No.1747 of 2021 is disposed of.
