Issues: Whether the applicant was entitled to interim protection in an anticipatory bail proceeding during a nascent GST investigation and whether any coercive action could be taken without advance notice.
Analysis: The application arose from an investigation into alleged fraudulent availment of input tax credit. The material before the Court showed that the investigation was at an early stage and that, on the record then available, there was no substantive material indicating the applicant's involvement. The Court also took note of the applicant's stated willingness to join the inquiry and furnish necessary information and documents. In these circumstances, the Court directed that if the authority decided to proceed under the coercive power under the GST law, seven days' advance notice would be served, while the applicant remained bound to appear and cooperate with the investigation.
Conclusion: The applicant was granted protective relief in the form of advance notice before coercive action, subject to continued cooperation with the investigation.
Final Conclusion: The proceeding was disposed of by extending limited pre-arrest protection while ensuring the applicant's participation in the inquiry.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an investigation is at a nascent stage and no substantive material then exists against the applicant, pre-arrest protection may be conditioned on cooperation with the investigation and prior notice before coercive action.
