Quick Summary
If you've accidentally paid GST twice on a sales invoice, the best course of action is to issue a credit note. This allows you to adjust the overpayment against future sales rather than seeking a direct refund, as refunds are generally not applicable in such cases under GST law. You may need to amend your GSTR-1 returns for the relevant months to reflect the credit note correctly.

Better issue credit note. The amount will get adjusted with future sales.

Refund provisions are not applicable if GST is paid twice.

Issue Credit note would be better option.

If you have cancelled the invoice in the same month, then it will not form part of GSTR 1. However, as the invoice to the customer is issued then it has to be uploaded in GSTR 1 and at the same time it has to be mentioned in credit note table.

You can amend Nov invoice to 1/- 0.09 CGST , 0.09SGST.

Check current month GSTR-1 table/ December month GSTR-1 --> Amend records.

This is the easy way
If this invoice related to 21-22 , credit note is adjustable liability of tax in dec'22 returns

AS PER GST LAW WE CAN NOT REFUND WHEN WE PAID GST THROUGH SALE INVOICE TWICE, BUT WE CAN REFUND OUR GST TAX THROUGH ISSUE CREDIT NOTE , IF ISSUED UP SPECIFIED PERIOD.

Very easy bro just amend nov 22 invoice with other recipient or same recipient in december month OK

Discuss with the buyer and adjust in the next invoice or at agreed terms
