AIR 2019 SC (supp) 1360

*We are constrained to pen down a more detailed order as the judgment of this Court in Asian Resurfacing of Road Agency’s case (supra) is sought to be relied upon by difference courts even in respect of interim orders granted by this Court where the period of 6 months has expired. Such a course of action is not permissible and if the interim order granted by this Court is not vacated and continues beyond a period of 6 months by reason of pendency of the appeal, it cannot be said that the interim order would automatically stand vacated.*

*Thus, the interim order granted by this Court on 20th March, 2009 must continue to be in force till the appeal is decided.*

*REPORTABLE*
