Grant of anticipatory bail to an accused for alleged wrongful utilisation of input tax credit was ordered; custodial interrogation was declined because detention would adversely affect business and the alleged amount (~Rs.10 Crores) attracts a maximum five-year sentence, while compounding of offences remains available, so prosecution may be avoidable.
