Pre-deposit sufficiency led to waiver of balance deposit and stay of recovery pending appeal.

The amount already deposited was treated as sufficient pre-deposit for hearing the appeal, and the balance demand was not required to be deposited at that stage. On that basis, waiver of pre-deposit of the remaining amount was allowed and recovery of the outstanding demand was stayed until disposal of the appeal.

Outcome: The application for waiver of pre-deposit of the balance amount was allowed and recovery of the remaining demand was stayed till disposal of the appeal.
