Upon the payment into court of the compensation assessed, the court shall give judgment appropriating the lands, rights-of-way, or other rights or easements in lands, as the case may be, to the petitioner, and thereafter the same shall be the property of the petitioner. Either party to the action may appeal from the judgment in like manner and with like effect as in ordinary condemnation cases. Such appeal shall not stay the proceedings so as to prevent the petitioner from taking such lands into its possession and using them for the purposes of the petitioner or from proceeding to exercise the rights-of-way or other rights or easements appropriated.
