2020 (7) TMI 756 - KERALA HIGH COURTAdjustment of refund amounts due towards the amounts found payable under the Amnesty Scheme - refund under Kerala VAT Act - HELD THAT:- Although it is the specific case of the learned Government Pleader that, under the Amnesty Scheme, there is no provision for an adjustment of refund amounts towards amounts found payable by an applicant seeking the benefit of Amnesty Scheme, the adjustment in question does not in any manner offend the Amnesty Scheme or do violence to its language. The department has not preferred any appeal against the said order so as to cast any doubt on the entitlement of the petitioner for the refund amount. In that scenario, when amounts are liable to be paid by the petitioner to the department for the purposes of getting the benefit of the Amnesty Scheme, an adjustment of the refund amounts due to the petitioner towards whatever amount is found payable by the petitioner, would not in any manner offend the terms of the Scheme because it is simply an adjustment towards the payment to be made under the Scheme. Petition allowed.
