Seek services of your lawyer since refund of court fees is cumbersome procedure, wherein certificate will be issued by Lok Adalat which shall have to be submitted to your area SDM in triplicate. The SDM shall get it verified from Court as well as treasury and refund 90% of the amount (Court Fees) in your bank account which shall take about 4-5 months.
