Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly, when the statutory remedy of appeal has been availed with an interim relief, I deem it appropriate to direct the Joint Development Commissioner-cum-Appellate Authority to consider the prayer of interim stay within one week from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
