tgage. There would be diminution of display area of its premises, following the loss of 5% of total land area. However I also find the petitioner's right of appeal would not be rendered nugatory if stay were refused. Its land could be returned to the comp

The roadworks of course may seem to many to be of great general or public importance. But does the ground for appeal fit into such a category? I approach the issue of special leave on a provisional basis without detailed argume
nt. The appeal point is whether the majority judgment was correct in accepting that the judgment of the trial judge had traversed the consideration demanded by section 3(2), namely did the necessity for the acquisition provide reasonable justification for
 the causing of any resultant hardship? And were the majority correct to invoke Rule 22 to reach that conclusion on the judge's findings albeit without his specific reference to section 3(2)?}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0
