(1.) THE petitioner, V.K. Agrawal, apparently has not received the full monetary benefits of the price money in facilitating intelligence reports on assessees with the Income-tax Department. It is his claim and contention that whatever had been discovered on the basis of the reports supplied by him and became the subject-matter of raids by the Income-tax Department, he is entitled to a percentage of the amounts so realised by the Department. This is the contention of the petitioner.
(2.) PLAINLY the issue before the court is whether a writ may issue on such a petition.
