QUESTIONS OF LAW A. Whether the land acquisition of land of the petitioner by the respondent is for a Private Company or for a public purpose. B. Whether the acquisition is mala fide being in colourable exercise of power and fraud on the statute and in sheer abuse of power of eminent domain.

Division Bench of High Court of ________ in Writ Petition No. ________ of ________. DECLARATION IN TERMS OF RULE 5 That the Annexures filed with the Present Petition are true copies of the pleadings/documents forming part of the records before courts below. GROUNDS That the present special leave to Appeal is being filed on the following, amongst other, grounds without prejudice to each other; i. Because the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court failed to appreciate that the procedure for acquiring land for a public purpose cannot be adopted for acquiring land for a private company. The acquisition in the instant case was clearly an acquisition for a private company and the respondent State had undertaken a colourable exercise of power by stating it to be an acquisition for a public purpose. GROUNDS FOR INTERIM RELIEF That the Petitioner has a good case on merits and that there are fair chances of success in the matter before this Hon'ble Court. The acquisition in the instant case was clearly an acquisition for a private company and the State had undertaken a colourable exercise of power by stating it to be an acquisition for a public purpose. If no stay is granted then that would cause serious prejudice to the petitioner. MAIN PRAYERS In view of the facts and circumstances as mentioned above, it is most humbly prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to: i.
