Where there is an order for a stay of execution of an order of court, the effect is that the order appealed from is not carried into effect or its execution is suspended with or without any terms or conditions attached to the order staying execution of that earlier order, while the appeal is being determined. The order which has been stayed shall not be operative with effect from the time of the making of the order of stay. The order of court is in effect ‘in abeyance’; it has not been set aside, only that the said order shall not be operative from the time of the making of the order of stay.
