https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=88382 HC denied pre-arrest bail application involving fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims. Despite petitioner's partial cooperation with investigating authorities and appearing after interim bail, the court rejected the anticipatory bail. The court noted the prima facie evidence of ineligible ITC amounting to Rs. 3.42 Crores, which is below the Rs. 5 Crores threshold. The application was deemed non-maintainable, with a directive for the petitioner to fully cooperate in the ongoing investigation. The bailable nature of the offense and absence of immediate arrest risk were key considerations in the court's reasoning. en-us Wed, 14 May 2025 07:48:07 +0530 Wed, 14 May 2025 07:48:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=88382 HC denied pre-arrest bail application involving fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims.
