• Stay on Family Court Order

In case the Honorable Family Court passes an order on my application in my favor, i understand that the opposing party can appeal to the High court against the order. Would like to understand:

1. Until the Honorable High Court gives a Stay order, the Family court order is valid. Is my understanding right?

2. Can the opposing party seek a stay order in the family court itself stating its their right to appeal in the High Court. Can such a stay be provided by the family court?

1. yes unless and until the high court stays the order challenged before it the order remains in force.

2.No,the same court after passing the order can not stay its own order. only the higher court has right to do so.

1. Yes. You have rightly understood that unless and till the said order passed by the family Court has been stayed by the higher Court, the said order is enforceable.

2. No Court can pass an order staying its own order. It shall have to be passed by its higher Court.
