If any appeal is filed within three weeks from today alongwith an application for stay of operation of order Annexure P/6, respondent Nos.6 to 9 are restrained from raising any construction till that application is decided by the appellate authority. Counsel for respondent Nos.6 to 9 states that they shall not raise any objection regarding limitation, if the appeal is filed within three weeks from today.
