No.4623/2017 and connected appeal disposed off on 13.12.2017 has held that the appeal is a statutory right and grant of stay of the impugned order in the appeal proceedings is a matter of discretion which requires to be exercised by the appellate authorities, particularly when appeal being continuation of the original proceedings.

5. The petitioners having availed the statutory remedy of appeal, as provided under Section 106 of the Act, it was incumbent upon the respondent to consider the application for stay and refusal to consider the stay would deprive the legitimate rights of the petitioners provided under Section 106 of the Act, and it would lead to irreparable loss to the
