Issues: Whether the applicant, a foreign national facing prosecution under the CGST Act for alleged tax evasion, was entitled to bail having regard to the nature of the evidence, the stage of the case, the maximum punishment, custody period, and the absence of material showing likelihood of tampering with evidence.
Analysis: The application arose out of allegations of GST evasion based on documentary material and investigation already completed, followed by filing of complaint. The applicant had remained in custody since 26.08.2025, the offences were triable by a Magistrate, and the maximum punishment was five years. The Court also noted the applicant's status as a woman, the absence of convincing material suggesting tampering with evidence, and the fact that the case was supported substantially by documentary evidence. On these facts, the Court considered the custody to be no longer necessary for the purposes of trial.
Conclusion: The applicant was held entitled to bail and was directed to be released on furnishing the stipulated bond and sureties, subject to conditions.
Final Conclusion: Bail was granted in the GST prosecution, with protective conditions imposed to secure the applicant's appearance and to prevent interference with the trial.
Ratio Decidendi: In a GST prosecution resting principally on documentary evidence, where the accused has spent substantial time in custody, the case is triable by a Magistrate, and no convincing material shows a real risk of tampering with evidence, bail may be granted subject to suitable conditions.
