In Public Function Matters Like Electricity Supply No Ex Parte Stay Must Be Given, Vacation Plea Must Be Decided Expeditiously: Rajasthan HC

Live Law  

The Jaipur bench of the Rajasthan High Court ruled that in matters that affect supply of public services like electricity to the consumers in the State, ordinarily ex-parte interim order ought not to be granted, and even if it was granted, the application for vacating the stay is required to be considered expeditiously. Though the appellants filed an application for vacating stay on 10.07.2024, the application remained pending despite requests made so much so that the appellants had to approach this Court by filing appeal against the exparte interim order". The bench then said that once an ex-parte interim order passed and as soon as the application for vacating stay is filed, the application is required to be decided one way or the other "expeditiously and it cannot be allowed to remain pending for a long time". Therefore, in such matters, ordinarily ex-parte interim order ought not to have been granted and even it was granted, the application for vacating stay was required to be considered expeditiously or the writ petition itself ought to have been decided finally.
