Issues: Whether the pre-deposit required for maintaining the appeal should be computed at 20% of the disputed tax under the proviso to Section 55(4) of the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, 2003, and whether the amount could be paid in instalments.
Analysis: The petitioner contended that the earlier stay condition was onerous because it treated the pre-deposit as 20% of the entire demand, including interest, instead of 20% of the disputed tax. The amount payable was clarified before the Court as Rs. 2,93,81,208/-, representing 20% of the disputed tax, and the petitioner accepted that quantification. In view of that clarification, the prior order was modified so that the statutory pre-deposit would be confined to the disputed tax and paid in instalments.
Conclusion: The pre-deposit was fixed at Rs. 2,93,81,208/-, being 20% of the disputed tax, payable in six instalments, and the appeal was to be disposed of expeditiously.
