Further investigation after expiry of the statutory period, without any remaining recovery or discovery, does not by itself support continued custody in alleged fraudulent input tax credit matters. Where the offence carries a limited maximum sentence and is triable by a Magistrate, risks of interference with evidence, witnesses, or investigation should be assessed under the triple test and addressed through bail conditions.
