The last sectors are as follows
BOM-xDOH-DXB
and they suggest BOM-xLHR-DXB - crazy but true, don't mind the transit in London but BA and LHR business taxes are eye watering.

Thinking of buying another one way ticket from BOM on a one world carrier if possible and taking them to small claims tribunal.

Do they have any defence to get out of this

They keep refusing to accept responsibility and keep pushing me to refund the remaining sectors.
Are these (real) BA/UK taxes or BA carrier surcharges? Do they detail what for?
If you have a stop over in UK, you must the APD. Other than APD, UK taxes are not that much different to many other countries.

The ME3 are not know for good (on ground) customer service
