judgment basing on which Ex.P.No.61/2025 came to be filed. Learned counsel states that he could not obtain an
order of stay in the said case i.e., in MFA No.6398/2025. Therefore, to obtain an order of stay this writ petition is filed.

Also the relief sought for in this writ petition is to quash the proceedings in an execution petition filed until disposal of the miscellaneous fist appeal such relief is bad in law and
