If Summary suit was not proceeded further,and withdrawn, you may apply to refund court fee along with Withdrawal,
Judge will pass order for refund of court fees, subject to 20-33% deduction, depend on court time consumed/ process issues//
Take help of your Sr. colleagues.

though the query was repeated in another thread, where other opinions have also been seen, expert Mr. Shroff has given his opinion with regard to the settlement before court, but full fee also can be refunded by court is settlement is through lok adalat.

Was your suit proceeded i.e., issuance of process to defendant, marking attandance within stipulated period, rejection or allowing leave to defend so on and so forth?
If yes, court fees paid can be refunded after proportionate deduction of the proceedings.
However, if the suit has been settled in mediation or counselling etc. (Section 89 CPC)you can get full refund of court fees paid u/s 16 of Court Fees Act.
