Sometimes people are surprised when they hear that a judge has granted stay order on basis of a phone call...
But every judge has powers to pass such order.
Normally they follow procedures prescribed by law. They do everything in open court. Their all orders are available to parties or public.
To be impartial, is the only thing required from a Judge.
In extra ordinary situation, any judge can pass order on oral submissions,( this includes telephone calls)..
Normally, judges do not exercise such extra ordinary powers.
But the point is they do have powers. It has been there since many many years.
