Petitioner Lakeside Development Corp., a private corporation, files a petition for certiorari, prohibition, and/or mandamus under Rule 65 in the Supreme Court to annul a final Department of Public Works (DPW) decision revoking its local franchise for a toll-road project. The petition asserts grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction and contends there is no other adequate remedy. The petition is timely, directed at a final DPW decision, and is accompanied by a certified copy of the DPW decision and supporting affidavits. However, the petition is not verified. (a) Identify the requisites for a petition for certiorari, prohibition, and/or mandamus under Rule 65. (b) Based on the facts, determine whether the petition satisfies these requisites, with emphasis on the verification requirement. (c) If it does not, state the proper remedy to cure the defect and proceed.
