CR No. 4021 of 2009
The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under
Article 227 of the Constitution of India, for setting aside the impugned
order dated 25.4.2009, which reads as under: –
“File taken up on an application for issuance of refund
vouchers, moved on 31.3.2009. Report of the Ahlmad
was sought in this case, which is as under: –
As per record in LAC case No. 493/97/96, an amount of
Rs.184734/- deposited in favour of Rajender Singh son of
Karam Sngh, vide RD No. 386 dated 19.11.2005 against

Another amount of Rs.2135990/- deposited in favour of
Rajinder son of Karam Singh and an amount of
Rs.1030523/- deposited in favour of Nirmala Devi wife of
Nafe Singh vide RD No. 698 dated 25.3.2009 against
amount of Rs.4545934/- TDS has already been deducted
against this amount.
Refund vouchers in favour of rightful claimants, be
issued against proper receipt, verification and
identification. Photographs of the applicants be taken on
record. Vouchers be given to the concerned person only
and not to the power of attorney. Application for refund
vouchers stands disposed off accordingly.
File be now put up on 10.6.2009, the date already fixed
in the case, for filing revised calculations, if any.”
The petitioner is entitled to release of voucher, through duly
appointed attorney i.e. Sh. Nafe Singh. In absence of any doubt with
regard to power of attorney, it was not open to the Court to pass the
impugned order denying the release of refund voucher to the petitioner
through attorney. The impugned order on the face of it being perverse,
cannot be sustained in law.
This revision is allowed and the impugned order is set aside.
The refund voucher in the name of the petitioner be released to his
attorney.
Revision allowed.
