M/S Shreenath Corp.& Ors vs Consum.Educ.& Res.Society & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the interim order issued by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under Section 19 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which mandated the appellants to deposit 50% of the awarded amount. The Court held that the National Commission's order was consistent with the provisions of the Act, emphasizing that the conditional stay order did not contravene the second proviso of Section 19. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the National Commission's authority to impose such conditions on stay applications.
