Needless to mention that in the event the Range Deputy Inspector General of Registration, Calcutta finds that there has

been over valuation or any excess amount paid by the petitioner, the same may be refunded to him expeditiously. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of.

Since no affidavits have been called, the allegations in the writ application shall not be deemed to have been admitted by any of the respondents.

There will be no order as to costs.

All parties are to act on a server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this court. (Rajasekhar Mantha, J.)
