Income Tax Reund

Folks - I have a peculiar situation here.

A PAN card issued to me was also issued to some one else. That is One PAN number and two allottes. IT database would not show my name but the other man's name on the web site with that PAN number, even when I got the PAN card with my name and photo on it.

I contacted IT and they issued me a fresh PAN card with new number. However, my employer issued Form 16 with my old PAN number.

Having received my new PAN card, I filed my IT Return (AY 2008-09) with my new PAN number and claimed a refund of about Rs. 20,000 which was due as per tax calculations.

It is now over two and half years and I have not received any refund. The fellow who submitted my IT return claims that he is following with IT guys and a refund shall eventually come.

My question is what is the right approach to get my refund ?

Any help would be appreciated.
