  in  any  adjudicatory  or  licensing proceeding before any state agency,
  including any public benefit corporation or  public  authority,  or  any

  within  sixty  days  thereafter  may,  in the discretion of the court or
  adjudicatory or licensing agency before which it is pending, on its  own
  motion, and shall, on application to it by such person or some person on
  his behalf, be stayed as provided in this act, unless, in the opinion of
  the  court or adjudicatory or licensing agency, the ability of plaintiff
  to prosecute the action, or the defendant to conduct his defense, or  in
  any  adjudicatory  or  licensing  proceeding the ability of the party to

  military service.
