K Venkatesan (Advocate)     18 April 2021

Validity of interim stay

Dear Learned friends.
Complainant filed 138 case in JM Court. Accused filed Quash petition U/s 482 before High Court and admitted and stayed the proceeding. The question is, now the Magistrate insisting for extension of stay order in writing as per the Supreme Court ruling. In High Court the matter is not listed and not able to get extension order. Please suggest me in this situation.


Quick Summary
A complainant filed a case in Magistrate Court, but the accused then filed a quash petition in the High Court, which granted a stay on proceedings. The Magistrate is now requesting a written extension of the stay order, citing a Supreme Court ruling. However, the High Court matter hasn't been listed, making it difficult to obtain an extension. The advice given is to file a certified copy of the High Court's stay order with the Magistrate, ensuring the order's conditions and duration are clearly understood.

Hello,

You have to file certified copy of stay order from the high court before judicial magistrate court that proceedings before judicial magistrate court is stayed.

The whole High Court order needs to be read to check what was the conditions and duration of stay. It would be helpful if the operational portion of the order can be produced here.
