(d) If the petition is not dismissed under subsection (c) of this section, the court shall order relief under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 901 et seq.] notwithstanding section 301(b) [11 USCS § 301(b)].
(e) The court may not, on account of an appeal from an order for relief, delay any proceeding under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 901 et seq.] in the case in which the appeal is being taken; nor shall any court order a stay of such proceeding pending such appeal. The reversal on appeal of a finding of jurisdiction does not affect the validity of any debt incurred that is authorized by the court under section 364(c) or 364(d) of this title [11 USCS § 364(c) or (d)].
§ 922. Automatic stay of enforcement of claims against the debtor
(a) A petition filed under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 901 et seq.] operates as a stay, in addition to the stay provided by section 362 of this title [11 USCS § 362], applicable to all entities, of--
(1) the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against an officer or inhabitant of the debtor that seeks to enforce a claim against the debtor; and

(c) If the debtor provides, under section 362, 364, or 922 of this title [11 USCS § 362, 364, or 922], adequate protection of the interest of the holder of a claim secured by a lien on property of the debtor and if, notwithstanding such protection such creditor has a claim arising from the stay of action against such property under section 362 or 922 of this title [11 USCS § 362 or 922] or from the granting of a lien under section 364(d) of this title [11 USCS § 364(d)], then such claim shall be allowable as an administrative expense under section 503(b) of this title [11 USCS § 503(b)].
(d) Notwithstanding section 362 of this title [11 USCS § 362] and subsection (a) of this section, a petition filed under this chapter does not operate as a stay of application of pledged special revenues in a manner consistent with section 927 of this title [11 USCS § 927] to payment of indebtedness secured by such revenues.

§ 926. Avoiding powers
(a) If the debtor refuses to pursue a cause of action under section 544, 545, 547, 548, 549(a), or 550 of this title [11 USCS § 544, 545, 547, 548, 549(a), or 550], then on request of a creditor, the court may appoint a trustee to pursue such cause of action.
(b) A transfer of property of the debtor to or for the benefit of any holder of a bond or note, on account of such bond or note, may not be avoided under section 547 of this title [11 USCS § 547].
§ 927. Limitation on recourse
The holder of a claim payable solely from special revenues of the debtor under applicable nonbankruptcy law shall not be treated as having recourse against the debtor on account of such claim pursuant to section 1111(b) of this title [11 USCS § 1111(b)].
§ 928. Post petition effect of security interest
(a) Notwithstanding section 552(a) of this title [11 USCS § 552(a)] and subject to subsection (b) of this section, special revenues acquired by the debtor after the commencement of the case shall remain subject to any lien resulting from any security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of the case.
(b) Any such lien on special revenues, other than municipal betterment assessments, derived from a project or system shall be subject to the necessary operating expenses of such project or system, as the case may be.
§ 929. Municipal leases
A lease to a municipality shall not be treated as an executory contract or unexpired lease for the purposes of section 365 or 502(b)(6) of this title [11 USCS § 365 or 502(b)(6)] solely by reason of its being subject to termination in the event the debtor fails to appropriate rent.
§ 930. Dismissal
(a) After notice and a hearing, the court may dismiss a case under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 901 et seq.] for cause, in-cluding--
(1) want of prosecution;
(2) unreasonable delay by the debtor that is prejudicial to creditors;
(3) failure to propose a plan within the time fixed under section 941 of this title [11 USCS § 941];
(4) if a plan is not accepted within any time fixed by the court;
(5) denial of confirmation of a plan under section 943(b) of this title [11 USCS § 943(b)] and denial of additional time for filing another plan or a modification of a plan; or
(6) if the court has retained jurisdiction after confirmation of a plan--
