The court noted an initial detention exceeding 49 hours but relied on SC precedent holding that GST/Customs arrest powers coexist with CrPC and that commissioners may arrest on "reason to believe" without a prior assessment order in some cases. The applicant had participated in the office search, summons were issued, and prosecution material (statements under the CGST Act and parallel accounting evidence) showed large alleged tax evasion. Given the ongoing crucial investigation and risk of evidence tampering or witness influence, bail was refused. en-us Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 24 Sep 2025 08:08:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=778894 City Civil & Sessions Ct., Mumbai denied regular bail.
