                                     the said LPA deals with the entitlement of the benefits of SFIS, under the FTP
                                     2009-2014 and not under the FTP 2004-2009.
                                            35.  This being the sole ground on which Respondent No. 1 claimed for
                                     refund of  duty, paid by it, was rejected, the rejection could not sustain. The
                                     Learned Single Judge has, therefore, rightly allowed both the aforesaid writ peti-
                                     tions.
                                            36.  In view of the aforesaid facts, reasons and judicial pronouncements,
                                     there is no substance  in these Letters  Patent Appeals and hence, the same  are
                                     dismissed.

                                            37.  In view of the orders passed in these Letters Patent Appeals, these
