This is an application praying for stay of the judgment and order dated 17-3-2017 passed by the learned District Forum, Sonitpur, in CPA Case No. 7/2014. It has also been prayed in the Misc. Application that the warrant of arrest issued pursuant to the show cause notice dated 11-07-2017 issued by the learned District Forum be set aside.

              Heard Mr. O.K. Shrestha, learned counsel appearing for the applicant/appellant. After hearing the learned counsel appearing for the applicant/appellant and considering the entirety of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is provided that the operation of the impugned judgment and order dated 17-3-2017 passes by the learned District Forum, Sonitpur, in CPA Case No. 7/2014 shall remain stayed till disposal of the appeal subject to deposit of 25% of the awarded amount before the Registry of the Commission within two weeks from today.

               It may be mentioned herein that no warrant of arrest has been annexed with the Misc. Application though stay has been sought for such a warrant of arrest also. However learned counsel for the applicant/appellant has mentioned that the applicant/appellant has come to know that warrant of arrest has been issued in his name. Needless to say, since the Commission has already stayed the impugned order out of which the warrant of arrest ultimately emanates, therefore, there is no question of arresting the applicant/appellant based on the said order dated 17-03-2017 passes by the learned District Forum, Sonitpur, in CPA Case No. 7/2014 or the subsequent show cause notice dated 11-07-2017.

              Misc Case is allowed and disposed of accordingly.
