We won the case with the RDC to evict the tenant. What happens after waiting the cooling period?

Q: We won the case with the RDC that the tenant has to evict the property. We are told there is a cooling period before they say the date he has to leave. How long is the cooling period he can appeal and then what happens next if he appeals and if he doesn`t? He was served the one-year notice and then refused to leave, hence the case we raised with RDC and won. Thank you

What notice to follow while resigning if there is contradiction, the company contract or MOHRE contract?
