Kindly see the order of CESTAT - 2009 -TMI - 34519 - CESTAT, NEW DELHI in which it was held that the relevant date for computing the period of one year would be the date of order in appeal. But I think your case is different and must be contested on the ground that refund was filed before the customs authorities in April 2008 - Since there was confusion about the jurisdiction, customs authorities have accepted the refund application - since department itself is not clear about the jurisdiction, assessee should not suffer the lack of clarity on the part of department.
