our client has been received 2 times refund for the same A.Y. Once at the time of intimation u/s 143(1)and again at the time of block asstt. A.O has not given the effect of refund received as per intimation u/s 143(1). However A.O has taken indemnity bond before issuing the said refund. Now what to do.

You advice your client to to return the refund received second time as a prudent man stating that he has received first refund referring Order No...dated... etc. It is not ethical on part of a person to take two refunds for the same subject.
But at the same time suggest to carefully go through the block assessment order and confirm that its really a twice refund before returning the Refund cheque.
