Bail Granted in GST Evasion Case Under Section 132, Subject to Cooperation and Personal Bond Conditions
Case-Laws
GST
The HC granted bail to the applicant accused of GST evasion by claiming false input tax credit, an offence punishable with imprisonment up to five years and compoundable. The applicant provided an undertaking to cooperate with the investigation and expressed willingness to pay the compounding fee, including GST liability and penalty. Considering the applicant's lack of prior criminal record and prolonged incarceration since 18.06.2025, the court found sufficient grounds to enlarge him on bail without prejudice to the trial's merits. Bail was allowed on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned magistrate or court, subject to compliance with imposed conditions.
