Pre-deposit requirement for appeals can be compulsory, but courts may waive onerous deposits denying meaningful access to appeal.
An aggrieved party seeking appellate redress must comply with statutory pre-conditions for appeal filing, including payment obligations specified by the relevant enactment. Statutory pre-deposits are treated as a compulsory pre-condition rather than a mechanism to obtain a stay. Courts have recognized that unduly onerous pre-deposit conditions that effectively deny access to appeal may be waived in fact-specific cases, and judicial discretion can be invoked where parties lack the financial capacity to contest valuation or penalty determinations.
