Case No.104 of 2018, which involved charges under sections 406, 420, 468, 471, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 132 of the Jharkhand Goods and Services Tax (JGST) Act. The petitioner, a tax practitioner, was accused of facilitating the registration of a proprietary firm using fraudulent documents to evade taxes. The defense argued that the petitioner merely assisted in the registration process and was not responsible for verifying the documents. Additionally, there was no evidence of the petitioner benefiting from the alleged tax evasion. The court, presided over by Justice Anil Kumar Choudhary, considered the arguments and determined that the petitioner should be granted anticipatory bail, noting the absence of direct allegations against him regarding the Input Tax Credit (ITC) and his professional status as an advocate. The court ordered that the petitioner be released on bail upon arrest or surrender, subject to conditions including depositing a cash security of Rs. 50,000 and a bail bond of Rs. 25,000 with two sureties. The petitioner must also cooperate with the investigation, provide his mobile number and Aadhar Card, and comply with Section 438(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
