As per case facts, this is an intra-court appeal challenging a Single Judge's judgment that allowed a Writ Petition by Royal Fragrances Private Limited (3rd respondent). The 3rd respondent, originally
...a gutka manufacturer, had sought acquisition of valuable land for a software park, which was quickly approved despite a largely blank application and lack of IT experience. A KIADB report questioned this, citing land mafias and `mala fide` intent for private real estate development, not public interest. The government later denotified some of these lands, which the 3rd respondent challenged. The Single Judge allowed their Writ Petition. The question arose whether the State can use eminent domain to favor private entities through `mala fide` and arbitrary means, especially when the stated public purpose is questionable. Finally, the Court found the land acquisition to be a "day light dacoity" in favor of land sharks, arbitrary, and a `mala fide` exercise of power, thus setting aside the Single Judge's judgment.
