..... fore the Hon'ble Supreme Court on question of law. Upon perusal of pleadings and prayer clauses of the petition it would reveal that petition is based on various questions of law that have been framed by the petitioner. Even if the petitioner fails before the learned Appellate Tribunal, the petitioner can very well raise the questions of law which are sought to be raised in the present petition, before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
