The review order was modified, instructing the respondent to comply within four weeks of the judgment, with the Department required to finalize the refund within the subsequent four weeks.In conclusion, the writ appeal was disposed of with the court's directives aimed at ensuring a proper verification process for the refund, safeguarding against potential fraudulent claims, and providing a clear timeline for the resolution of the matter.
