The HC allowed the petition and directed Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to pay interest on the delayed refund to the petitioner, holding that technical system defects, not any fault of the petitioner in filing the shipping bills or GST returns, caused the delay.

The respondents were ordered to compute and disburse the interest in accordance with law within 12 weeks from receipt of the order, and the petition was allowed.
