Pre-trial detention is not punitive and must serve to secure the accused's attendance at trial. In a GST prosecution alleging wrongful availment and passing on of input tax credit through non-existent firms, the High Court noted that investigation was complete, the complaint was filed, and the evidence was documentary.
