JUDGMENT :
(per Ms. Ritu Bahri, C.J.)
Heard learned counsels for the parties at
length.
2. A perusal of the order dated 14.09.2015,
passed by the learned Single Judge, shows that the
learned Single Judge had examined the Annexure No.5,
dated 02.03.2007, wherein, it had been observed that
the stamp duty shall be recovered on the sale certificate
subject to the final decision of the writ petition before
the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
3. This Court has again perused the Annexure
No.5, at page no.33, of the paper book where the
observations made by the learned Single Bench is also
reflected in the order Annexure No.5. Once the
Department themselves has admitted that they have
accepted the stamp duty subject to the final decision of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court
decision has now come that only 2% stamp duty can be
recovered, respondents-State will refund the amount
accepted beyond 2%.
4. In the counter affidavit filed, by the State, at
page no.73, it is mentioned that the appellant-State has
deposited the draft of 7.4%, and the number of draft
has also given along with the cost amount of
Rs.208350/-, which is reproduced as under:-
