https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=760933 Bail was refused in a case alleging forgery, cheating, criminal conspiracy, and misuse of PAN and Aadhaar details to create fake GST registrations and claim input tax credit. The Court treated the allegations as a coordinated economic offence involving bogus firms, forged or misused identity documents, and unexplained fund movements, and found the investigation material sufficient to show a prima facie nexus with the applicants. Applying settled bail principles for serious economic offences, the Court considered the gravity of the accusation, the strength of the prima facie case, the risk of interference with the process of justice, and the wider public impact, while also noting that similar bail requests in connected matters had already been declined. en-us Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 12 May 2025 18:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=760933 Bail was refused in a case alleging forgery, cheating, criminal conspiracy, and misuse of PAN and Aadhaar details to create fake GST registrations and claim input tax credit.
