#Appellate Rights

Allahabad High Court holds that once an appeal under Section 22 of UP Act 13 of 1972 is admitted, dispossession cannot proceed until the appeal is decided. The ruling protects appellants from irreversible civil consequences, aligning with the Supreme Court's Mool Chand Yadav precedent, ensuring possession remains intact during appellate proceedings.

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that customs appellants cannot be denied filing an appeal solely for failing to pay the 7.5% pre-deposit. Appeals must be registered as defective proceedings and decided on their merits, ensuring procedural fairness and protecting the right to appeal under the Customs Act 1962. This shields traders and importers from arbitrary denial of appellate remedies due to financial constraints.

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that execution of possession warrants cannot proceed while a first appeal is pending, even if the stay application is dismissed, provided the appeal was filed timely and the petitioner complies with interim orders. The court invoked its inherent powers under Section 151 CPC to prevent irreparable loss to the appellant, reinforcing appellate rights in execution proceedings.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court grants bail pending appeal under Section 389 CrPC when prolonged delay renders the appeal futile, even without adjudicating merits.
