<h1>Accused Must Prove Lack of Culpable Mental State in Kerala GST Ordinance Cases, Court Presumes Mental State Exists</h1> In prosecutions under the Kerala Goods and Services Tax Ordinance, 2017, where a culpable mental state is required, the court presumes such a mental state exists in the accused. However, the accused can defend themselves by proving they lacked this mental state concerning the alleged offence. A 'culpable mental state' encompasses intention, motive, knowledge, or belief regarding a fact. A fact is considered proven only if the court believes it exists beyond a reasonable doubt, not just by a preponderance of probability.
