CESTAT held that after the 2014 amendment to section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962, neither the Tribunal nor the Commissioner (Appeals) possess the power to waive pre-deposit requirements. Multiple judicial precedents, including SC, Delhi HC, and MP HC decisions, consistently affirmed that statutory pre-deposit conditions are mandatory and cannot be circumvented due to financial constraints.
