Kerala High Court has held that Order XLI Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 only provides for stay of the proceedings under a decree or stay of execution of the decree and does not empower the appellate court to stay the operation of the judgment. The Court has allowed the original petition (Civil) with a direction to the appellate court to consider the application for stay afresh and to pass orders after affording an opportunity of hearing to the parties.
