R E S O L U T I O N
DIZON, J.:
The facts involved in this case do not show that the taxes declared refundable in our decision promulgated on January 28, 1961 were collected arbitrarily by petitioner. Therefore, resolving the motion for clarification filed by the latter, and conformably with our resolution in G.R. No. L-11976 entitled Collector of Internal Revenue vs. Antonio Prieto, et al., our resolution in this case of May 19, 1961 is clarified by extending the exemption from liability of the Collector of Internal Revenue — that is, of the Government — to the payment of interest on the refundable tax.1awphîl.nèt It is so ordered.
Bengzon, C.J., Padilla, Labrador, Concepcion, Reyes, J.B.L., Paredes and De Leon, JJ., concur.
