However, since appeals against the order could not be heard for several months, stay on the should be granted in the interim.<BR><BR> An earlier Division Bench order had interpreted interim stay under the Act as a matter of course, as failure to do so would render the appeal infructuous. <BR><BR> The Full Bench of the High Court disagreed with the above ruling. It ruled that “discretion vested in the Appellate Authority must be exercised not blindly as a matter of policy”. An appellate authority would have to hear the application interim relief expeditiously and “apply its mind” as to whether the externment order is coloured in illegality.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Shamkumar Arjun Dalvi v.
