A writ of mandamus for the payment of compensation for improvements on acquired land cannot be issued in the absence of clear, contemporaneous documentary evidence proving that such structures existed prior to the issuance of the preliminary notification. To succeed in such a claim, the petitioner must establish a 'legally enforceable right' based on verified records rather than bare assertions. Karnataka High Court.

Central Goods and Services Tax Act. A claim for refund is a substantive statutory right. While Section 54 prescribes a two-year limitation period for filing such claims, the High Court under Article 226 possesses the authority to condone a moderate delay where the taxpayer's entitlement to the refund is undisputed on merits and the delay is not found to be intentional or due to gross negligence.
