<h1>Individuals Can Seek Anticipatory Bail Under GST and Customs Laws Without FIR, Rules Supreme Court of India</h1> The Supreme Court of India ruled that individuals can seek anticipatory bail under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Customs laws even if no First Information Report (FIR) has been filed. This decision clarifies that the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) regarding anticipatory bail apply to these cases. The verdict was delivered by a bench including the Chief Justice and two Justices, following a series of petitions challenging the compatibility of penal provisions in the Customs and GST Acts with the CrPC and the Constitution.
