High Court rules in favor of petitioners, awards interest for refund delay.

The Gujarat High Court held in favor of the petitioners, ruling that they were entitled to interest as compensation for the delay in receiving the refund from the Department. The court found that the Department's failure to pay the refund on time, along with the absence of the provisional refund, warranted the payment of interest to the petitioners.
