Consequential relief after an appellate order must follow automatically, and implementation should occur within a reasonable time.

Consequential relief flowing from an appellate order must follow automatically once the appeal is allowed or dismissed, and the successful party need not file a separate application to obtain implementation. The Tribunal further stated that such implementation cannot be deferred indefinitely and directed the authority to give effect to the earlier order within one month. The operative principle is that appellate relief must be implemented within a reasonable time, and the requested consequential action was therefore granted in favour of the applicant.

Issues: Whether consequential effect to the earlier appellate order was required to be given and whether the request for implementation was liable to be dealt with within a time-bound period.

Analysis: The application was founded on the earlier appellate order allowing the appeal and granting the substantive relief. The Tribunal held that once a higher appellate forum allows or dismisses an appeal, the consequential effect of that order must follow automatically, without requiring a further application from the successful party. It further observed that delay in granting such consequential effect could not be permitted to continue indefinitely and directed the adjudicating authority to act on the prior order within one month.

Conclusion: Consequential effect to the earlier order was directed to be given, and the misc application was disposed of in favour of the applicant.

Ratio Decidendi: Consequential relief flowing from an appellate order must follow automatically, and the authority is expected to implement such order within a reasonable time.
