The Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002
17. Conditions as to
making of interim order.-
Notwithstanding
anything contained in any other provision of this Act or in any other law for
the time being in force, no interim order (whether by way of injunction or stay
or in any other manner) shall be m de on, or in any proceeding relating to, an
application or appeal unless-
a.
copies
of such application or appeal and of all documents in support of the plea for
such interim order are furnished to the party against whom such application is
made or appeal is preferred; and
b.
opportunity
is given to such party to be heard in the matter:
Provided that the
Tribunal may dispense with the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) and make an
interim order as an exceptional measure if it is satisfied, for reasons to be
recorded in writing, that it is necessary so to do for preventing any loss being
caused to the applicant or the appellant, as the case may be; which cannot be
adequately compensated in money; but any such interim order shall, if it is not
sooner vacated, cease to have effect on the expiry of a period of fourteen days
from the date o which it is made unless the said requirements have been
complied with before the expiry of that period and the Tribunal has continued
the operation of the interim order.
