    {

        $file= public_path(). "/downloads/SampleCSV.csv";
        $headers = array(
              'Content-Type: application/csv',

I'm pretty sure that your browser can't interpret the file. According to this solution, you need to force it to open 'save as...' dialog:

$headers = array(
          'Content-Type: text/csv',
          'Content-disposition: attachment'
);

I tested your code and it works perfectly (get .csv file). take a look at this solution : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/398237/how-to-use-the-csv-mime-type/15291827#15291827 – Razor May 23 '14 at 10:54
tested it to another browser and works perfectly fine. – Karlo Aug 18 '14 at 14:01
