  • The Court directed that if such an application is filed, the Appellate Tribunal should either dispose of the main appeal expeditiously or vacate the stay and dispose of the main appeal as appropriate.
  • The Court observed that implementation of the interim order would effectively grant the main relief to the respondents; therefore, pending applications are deemed disposed of.
