Public interest case

Rent control act is completly back dated and against the interest of landlord and overall developement. Government is taking stamp duty and registration fee based on the valution decided by them but fair rent is not based on that same valuation for said property which is a gross injustice to the whole system tyen why cant we go for public interest suit for this. Anybody pl guide me course of action to be taken for filing one public interest case in kolkata high court with some reference of truthful and fearless lawyear who can help me out and tentative cost involvement for this.
