Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of a citizen's claim for a refund of stamp duty that was rejected on the grounds of being stale due to the passage of time. The court examined the circumstances surrounding the delay, including the appellant's prior consumer complaint against the builder. Ultimately, the court found that the rejection of the refund claim was unjustified and emphasized the need for a fair consideration of such claims, especially in light of the complexities involved in revenue laws.
