HC rejected the petitioner's application for bail in a GST fraud case involving alleged creation of fictitious firms and issuance of fake invoices to pass on bogus ITC without actual supply of goods or services, constituting cognizable and non-bailable offences under s.132(1) and 132(5) of the CGST Act. On a prima facie evaluation, HC held the petitioner was not an innocent service provider but an active participant in an organized interstate gang, receiving illegal remuneration. Given the gravity of the offence, ongoing and wide-ranging investigation, and potential impact of release on effective investigation, HC found no ground to exercise discretion in favour of bail and dismissed the bail petition.
