The scope of Interim Order is very limited. It is temporary and effective only during the pendency of litigation; ceases to exist as soon as the Final Order is passed. No law can be laid down in an interim order. The procedure adopted by the Tribunal is strange and contrary to the settled principles of law.

This clubbing of the cases and passing a common interim order was opposed by the learned counsels appearing for the parties. It was submitted before the tribunal that it would be appropriate to decide each case individually instead of passing common order on the common issues. After considering the said submissions, the Tribunal held that an order identifying common/legal issues will be passed and thereafter individual appeals will be taken up treating the matters as part heard.
