                                     the  lease agreement, in  appropriate proceedings - Petitioner also unable to
                                     show any provision of law that puts an obligation on the Tax Department to
                                     furnish the information for which the mandamus is being sought - In case the
                                     petitioner has no such legal right, the prayer cannot be granted - Article 226 of
