Legal Question in Legal Ethics in India

Case moves from Labour Court to Madras High Court on account of grant of interim stay on November 11, 2017. Stay expires on account of six-month deadline set by the hon'ble court. Labour Court asks parties to the suit to report subsistence of stay on December 1, 2018. After the appearance of parties to the suit, says 'NO STAY as one has passed since the original stay day Nov 11, 2017'. Puts Feb 2, 2019, as date for PW1 cross at which point the stay was obtained originally. Respondent avoids cross examining the witness. Suddenly, on February 19, 2019, the respondent produces an web order copy from the Madras High Court reviving the stay from February 18, 2019, onwards. My question is was there a CAUSE OF ACTION on Feb 18, 2019, for the Respondent (petitioner in High Court) to seek stay revival after attending the proceedings at the Labour Court. Is Madras High Court right in reviving the stay knowing fully well that the Labour Court has ceased of the matter from December 1, 2018 on wards, on the direction of Hon'ble Supreme Court.
