Recovery Proceedings Stayed Pending Appeal; Appellate Authority Directed to Expedite Early Hearing Request.
The HC modified the Single Judge's judgment, ensuring that recovery proceedings against the appellant are stayed until the resolution of the appeal or stay petition before the Appellate Authority. The HC directed the 3rd respondent to consider the appellant's application for an early hearing. The writ appeal was disposed of with these modifications.
Issues involved: 1. Appellant aggrieved by judgment in Writ Petition 2. Impugned Ext.P13 order and recovery steps 3. Appeal and stay petition filed 4. Coercive steps taken for recovery 5. Single Judge's direction and lack of stay on recovery proceedings 6. Arguments by counsels 7. Modification of judgment to protect appellant from recovery proceedings 8. Clarification on keeping recovery proceedings in abeyance 9. Consideration of application for early hearing of appeal 10. Disposal of writ appeal
Analysis: 1. The appellant, aggrieved by a judgment in a Writ Petition, had impugned an Ext.P13 order and recovery steps taken against them. The appellant filed an appeal along with a stay petition before the Appellate Authority. Despite this, coercive steps for recovery were initiated, leading to the filing of WP(C) No. 37397/2023 before the Court.
2. The Single Judge, while directing the Appellate Authority to consider the stay application, did not grant a stay on the recovery proceedings. The counsels for both parties were heard, with the appellant's counsel arguing for protection from recovery proceedings pending the appeal's disposal.
3. The High Court, in its judgment, noted that the Single Judge should have protected the appellant from recovery proceedings while the appeal or stay petition was pending before the Appellate Authority. Consequently, the High Court modified the judgment to clarify that recovery proceedings against the appellant shall be kept in abeyance until the disposal of the stay petition or appeal, whichever is earlier.
4. Additionally, the High Court directed the 3rd respondent to consider the appellant's application for early hearing of the appeal in accordance with the law. Apart from these modifications, the High Court upheld the rest of the directions in the impugned judgment.
5. The writ appeal was disposed of with the above modifications, ensuring that the appellant is safeguarded from recovery proceedings until the resolution of the appeal or stay petition before the Appellate Authority.
