Shri Chomal states that liberty may be granted to move the Appellate Authority in Appeal and also present an application for interim stay therein. Shri Deshpande does not dispute that the petitioner can apply for interim stay before the Appellate Authority. It is, therefore, not necessary to give any directions in the matter. There is no basis for the apprehension that the Appellate Authority would not take into account the statements made -2- in the undertaking which the petitioner is willing to give to this Court if similar pleas are made before it. It is for the Appellate Authority to decide as to which course of action is permissible and workable until the appeal is heard and disposed of. 3. Appellate Authority shall,therefore, allow the petitioner to place before it the undertaking or copy thereof which is filed in this Court. Petition is disposed of. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.)
