The Court treated the recovery of connected import records, statements linking the applicant to the imports and payments, and the risk of witness influence or evidence tampering as significant at the incomplete-investigation stage. It held that the alleged gravity of the offence could not be lightly discounted and that release at that point could hamper the investigation. The application was therefore rejected. en-us Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:49:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=208255 Bail was refused in a customs-duty evasion investigation alleging a coordinated scheme to import disassembled super bikes as spare parts using forged bills of entry and supporting documents.
