Anticipatory bail in fake GST invoice dispute granted as credential access issues were left for investigation.

Pre-arrest protection was granted where the complaint alleged fake GST invoices raised through the de facto complainant's login, but the record did not show that the petitioner had been given the password or other credentials. The court treated the disputed questions about access and use of the login account as matters for investigation rather than grounds to deny anticipatory bail, and considered conditional relief appropriate to secure the petitioner's availability and cooperation. Anticipatory bail was therefore granted by the Telangana HC.
