State Of Haryana & Ors vs V.K. Aggarwal

The Supreme Court held that once an appeal is admitted, the High Court should typically stay the operation of the trial court's judgment, unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. The Court found that the High Court's failure to grant a stay was incorrect, as it could lead to irreparable harm if excess payments were made. The interim order from September 6, 2007, was confirmed, and the High Court was directed to expedite the disposal of the matter within six months.
