The court found the respondent's rejection of partial refund claims improper, specifically for Rs. 48,640/- and Rs. 64,496/- for different quarters. The HC held that the petitioner was entitled to budgetary support calculated at 58% of central tax paid through cash ledger and 29% of IGST paid after input tax credit utilization. The court ordered respondent No. 3 to release the inadmissible amounts previously withheld, declaring the original rejection orders contrary to the notification dated 05.10.2017.
