Anticipatory bail was considered in an investigation into alleged wrongful availment and utilisation of input tax credit through invoices issued by non-existent entities. The note states that a co-director had been arrested, the investigation remained ongoing, and the alleged tax evasion required the investigating agency to ascertain the applicant's role and that of other persons involved in the transactions. On that basis, custodial interrogation could not be ruled out, and anticipatory bail was rejected without addressing the merits of the allegations.
