Automatic Vacation Of Stay Invalid In Pending Trials After Overruling Of 'Asian Resurfacing' Judgment : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court clarified that an automatic vacation of stay on an appeal is invalid if the trial has not concluded. The clarification came in response to a situation where an automatic vacation of stay was being applied prematurely, affecting the outcome of ongoing trials. The Court emphasized that a stay granted by a higher court should remain in effect until the trial is completed, ensuring that legal processes are not disrupted unduly. This decision aims to protect the interests of parties involved in appeals and ensure that legal proceedings are conducted fairly and thoroughly without premature interruptions.
