18 Staying proceedings before tribunals

The Supreme Court may, whenever it appears to it just and convenient, on the application of a party to, or person whose reputation or character is likely to be affected by, the trial of a cause before a tribunal mentioned in the Constitution made at any time before the conclusion of the proceedings, absolutely, conditionally, or temporarily prohibit the tribunal from proceeding or proceeding further in that cause and make such further order thereon as it thinks just.
