Case of MM Traders vs State of UP, SC Judgement Dated 25th May 2026. An appealable order had been passed on 1stJanuary 2025, whereas the amendment introducing a pre-deposit requirement for filing a further appeal came into force only on 1st October 2025. The petitioner argued that the subsequently introduced condition of pre-deposit could not operate as a pre- condition for maintaining the appeal in the present case. Pending consideration of the Special Leave Petition, as an interim arrangement, the court permitted the petitioner to file the appeal and directed that the appeal be entertained without insisting upon any pre-deposit.
