Regular Bail Granted for Forgery and GST Evasion Under Strict Statutory Bond Conditions
Case-Laws
GST
The HC granted regular bail to the petitioners accused of forgery, fraud involving signatures, and GST evasion, despite sufficient prima facie evidence against them. The court recognized that pre-trial custody should not equate to post-conviction punishment and noted the petitioners' detention since 20.03.2025. Considering the nature of the offenses and the applicable penal provisions, the court found no justification for continued pre-trial incarceration. Bail was allowed subject to strict compliance with statutory bond conditions, including mandatory court appearances and prohibitions on tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses, police officials, or others connected to the case. The petitioners were directed to adhere to these terms to maintain bail status.
