Temporary stay of recovery enforcement granted pending rectification proceedings, with direction to seek stay before the Tribunal

Enforcement of a Tribunal recovery order was granted only temporary protection pending rectification proceedings, with the Court directing the petitioner to seek stay before the Tribunal itself. The interim abeyance was expressly time-bound and contingent on the petitioner moving the Tribunal for stay by the stipulated date. The operative effect was limited suspension of enforcement, not any final determination on the merits of the rectification dispute or the recovery action.

Issues: Whether enforcement of the Tribunal's order should be stayed pending disposal of the rectification proceedings and a stay application before the Tribunal.

Analysis: The petition was confined to a limited protective relief pending decision on the rectification petition. The Court directed the petitioner to move the Tribunal for stay in the pending rectification matter and granted a limited period during which enforcement of the recovery order would remain in abeyance. The arrangement was temporary and contingent on the petitioner seeking stay before the Tribunal by the stipulated date.

Conclusion: Enforcement of the impugned order was stayed only till the specified date, and the petitioner was directed to seek stay before the Tribunal.
