Judgment
ORDER This application has been filed to refund the Court Fee paid in C.S.No.150 of 2024 to the tune of Rs.2,91,100/- (Rupees Two Lakhs Ninety One Thousand Hundred only) as per Receipt of Nos.TNCT0204C2431M540, dated 02/03/2024 and to the tune of Rs.10,135/- (Rupees Ten Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Five only) as per Receipt No.TNCTO1331234490056. As on Sep 2023 in C.S.No.150 of 2024 memo of valuation court fee paid is Rs.3,01,235/- since the plaintiff has withdrawn the suit and the same was disposed on 22/10/2025 by this Court, the plaintiff seeks for refund of Court fee to the tune of Rs.3,01,235/- to the Plaintiff Mr.Noelraj.
¶2It is seen from the records that the suit was dismissed as withdrawn on
22.10.2025. Though the plaintiff has sought for refund of court fee under Order XIV Rule 8 of the Original Side Rules read with Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC and Section 66 of the Tamil Nadu Court fee and Valuation Act holding Section 69A, he is not entitled for any refund of court fee in the manner known to law. Further, the Judgment of the Supreme Court relied on by the learned counsel for the applicant is not applicable to the facts of the present case, since the suit herein has been dismissed as withdrawn and has not been settled either privately or by mediation. Further, at the time of dismissing the suit, no order was passed regarding refund of court fee. This amounts to denial of such relief; hence, the plaintiff cannot maintain this petition separately.
¶3Accordingly, this application is dismissed. No costs. 01-04-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order nvi/ay A.No.1032oofo2026 DR.A.D.MARIAoCLETE,oJ. AY AoNo.o1032oofo2026 in C.S.oNo.o150oofo2024 01-04-2026o
