Unjust Enrichment Barred | Excise Department Must Refund Deposit If Vehicle Not Released Despite Compliance : Rajasthan HC
Rajasthan High Court rules that authorities cannot retain both the vehicle and deposit amount when release is not effected, ordering refund of Rs. 8,20,000 with bank interest. The judgment reinforces that administrative compliance does not entitle the state to unjust enrichment, setting a precedent for excise and police coordination failures.
