Refund claim - Period of limitation - Double Taxation - The respondent had also paid tax on the same invoices. - The petitioner sought direction for the refund of Input Tax Credit (ITC) paid on invoices for a specific period, alleging coercion due to the respondent's delayed filing of returns. The respondent argued that the petitioner's claim lacked merit due to the absence of a proper refund application. The court disposed of the petition by permitting the petitioner to file a refund application within one week, considering the exclusion of certain periods for limitation purposes.
