Recovery of erroneously paid drawback under Rule 16, despite the absence of an express limitation period, must be initiated within a reasonable time where fraud or suppression is not alleged. Mere non-production of proof of realisation of export proceeds does not equate to fraudulent availment.

The belated recovery order and consequential bank-account attachment were set aside; the availability of an appellate remedy and delay in seeking writ relief did not bar relief because the order lacked statutory authority.
