Accused granted bail in GST fraud case involving fake firms and illegal input tax credit claims
Case-Laws
GST
DSC granted bail to accused charged with GST fraud involving creation of multiple fake firms and fictitious transactions to claim illegal input tax credit. Despite prosecution's allegations of complex fraud scheme, court found accused posed no flight risk as no summons were issued after protection withdrawal. Accused remained in custody for 57 days while complaint filing deadline approached. Court noted investigation relied primarily on documentary evidence with witness statements already recorded, indicating investigation completion. Citing precedent that continued custody served no purpose once complaint filed, DSC admitted accused to bail on furnishing Rs. 2,00,000 bond with family member surety and imposed conditions. Bail application allowed despite prosecution's flight risk concerns.
