What did the court decide?
The question whether the amount was wrongly debited and partly recredited is a pure question of fact which must be redressed by the respondents; the petitioner has to file a suit against the respondents for recovery of the amount, as such factual disputes cannot be adjudicated under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
