One of the Justices of the Supreme Court shall always remain in the Capital of Puerto Rico when the court is not in session, and said justice shall have power to issue inhibitory writs of certiorari, of mandamus, of quo warranto, and of habeas corpus; but his decision in such cases shall be subject to revision by the Supreme Court which, whenever so requested by the interested party within the ten (10) days following notice of such decisions, shall revise the decision of the judge in chambers in any of said cases, and shall render such decision as it deems proper.
The judge in chambers may also grant extensions and admit appeals and other recourses to the Court of Appeals or other federal courts, in those cases in which it may be done by the Supreme Court; may fix the bond which, to answer for payment of costs, must be filed by the appellant; may order such stay of proceedings as could be ordered by the court, and may fix the supersedeas bond that may be required, if proper.
