Explanation
C: In a civil writ petition, a 'stay' may refer to a court order restraining an action until a future event occurs, or the order is lifted.
A stay order is a temporary court order that suspends or halts the proceedings in a case or any action that may be taken by a party until further notice. In a civil writ petition, a stay order may be granted by the court to prevent a particular action or decision from being implemented until the court makes a final decision on the matter.
For example, if a petitioner challenges a government decision in a writ petition, the court may grant a stay order that prevents the government from implementing the decision until the court has heard the arguments and made a final decision on the matter. A stay order can be granted for a fixed period or until further notice by the court.
