The HC adjudicated a challenge to the First Appellate Authority's order mandating a deposit for stay of the impugned tax order. It recognized a Central revenue notification reducing the deposit requirement to 10% of the disputed tax. The State revenue issued a corresponding notification aligning with this reduction. Consequently, the HC modified the earlier order, directing the petitioner to deposit 10% of the remaining disputed tax to maintain the stay. The petitioner's submission regarding the reduced deposit was accepted, and the writ petition was disposed of accordingly, with the stay contingent upon compliance with the revised deposit condition.
