<h1>GST Arrest Guidelines Amended: Written 'Grounds of Arrest' Now Mandatory for Detainees Under CGST Act 2017</h1> The Ministry of Finance's GST-Investigation Wing issued an amendment to the guidelines for arrest and bail under the CGST Act, 2017. Following a Delhi High Court ruling, it is mandated that the 'grounds of arrest' must be communicated in writing to the arrested individual. This distinction between 'reasons for arrest' and 'grounds of arrest' is based on a Supreme Court judgment, emphasizing that the grounds should detail the specific reasons for arrest, enabling the accused to defend against custodial remand and seek bail. The amendment requires these grounds to be included as an annexure to the arrest memo.
