Sri S.Ravi, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of thepetitioner, would submit that as the respondents have, in their counteraffidavits stated that the refund is under process, it would suffice if this Courtwere to fix a time frame of two weeks for refund to be granted. Sri T.Vinod Kumar, leaned Senior Standing Counsel for Income Tax,on the other hand, would draw attention of this Court to paragraph No.4 of thecounter affidavit to submit, that an application, under Section 154, wassubmitted by the petitioner on 04.01.2016; and an order thereunder waspassed on 27.01.2016 determining the refund payable; and the Departmentwould require at least six weeks to grant refund. As the order under Section 154 was passed less than a week ago,we consider it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petitions directing therespondents to refund the amount due within six weeks from today. The Writ Petitions are, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be noorder as to costs.
