Anticipatory bail was sought in a prosecution alleging creation of bogus firms and facilitation of fake e-way bills under ss. 67 and 132 of the CGST/SGST Act. The court held that the allegations were chiefly founded on documentary and digital material already seized during the search, with no pending recovery shown, reducing the necessity of custodial interrogation. Considering the maximum punishment of five years and the non-violent nature of the alleged offence, the court found pre-trial incarceration unwarranted, and observed that conditional liberty would not likely enable absconding or evidence tampering given seizure of relevant data. Anticipatory bail was granted subject to conditions - HC
