However, Shri Pankaj Patel, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel fairly states that no stay order has been granted in the special appeal against the judgment in the case of Chotte Lal Ram (supra) as of date. 8. Thus, it is apparent that the judgment of this Court in the case of Chotte Lal Ram (supra) governs the case of the petitioner also but for the fact that a special appeal has been filed by the respondents but no stay order has been granted in the special appeal whereby the respondents may have been restrained from complying the judgment in the case of Chotte Lal Ram (supra). 9.
