Notice that the term mistake as used in Section 72 includes not only a mistake of fact but also a mistake of law. There is no conflict between the provisions of Section 72 on the one hand, and Sections 21 and 22 on the other, and the true principle is that if one party under mistake, whether of fact or law, pays to another party money which is not due by contract or otherwise, that money must be repaid [ Sales Tax Officer, Benares v. Kanhaiyalal Makanlal Saraf, (1959), S.C.J. 53].
