Issues: Whether the applicant was entitled to regular bail in a prosecution alleging fraudulent availment and passing of input tax credit under the CGST Act.
Analysis: The applicant was alleged to have been instrumental in the creation and operation of the concerned firm and in the circulation of fraudulent input tax credit, but the proprietorship of the firm stood in the name of another person and no unimpeachable material was shown at the bail stage to conclusively establish the applicant's proprietorship or conscious involvement. The material relied upon by the prosecution consisted mainly of statements recorded during investigation, financial transactions between related entities, and circumstances said to indicate operational control. The Court held that whether such material proves beneficial ownership, criminal intent, or conscious participation requires detailed examination at trial. It was also noted that the applicant was in custody since 14.03.2026, the investigation had substantially progressed, relevant documents and electronic evidence had already been seized, and further custodial interrogation was not necessary.
Conclusion: Regular bail was granted to the applicant.
