Refund of excess amount deposited - The petitioner is right in his contention that the maximum liability to deposit the disputed amount in the appeal already preferred by the petitioner, which is pending adjudication is 7.5% of the disputed amount; it follows therefrom that in view of my finding that the impugned letters / orders are illegal and arbitrary and deserve to be quashed, by also applying the principles of restitution, it is necessary to direct the respondents to refund / repay any sum in excess of 7.5% back to the petitioner pending disposal of the appeal and by issuing necessary directions in this regard - HC
