https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=784395 Regular bail was sought in a case alleging a large illegal-liquor syndicate operating through licensed shops and causing substantial loss to the exchequer. The HC held that the applicant was not named in the FIR, no specific overt act was attributed, and implication was primarily through Section 161 Cr.P.C. statements and alleged association, matters requiring trial-level evidentiary appreciation which is impermissible at the bail stage; consequently, this weighed in favour of release. The HC further found investigation substantially complete, custodial interrogation unnecessary, and prosecution material largely documentary, so continued incarceration served no investigational purpose; parity also applied as a similarly placed co-accused had been granted bail. The applicant was enlarged on bail subject to conditions. en-us Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Jan 2026 08:04:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=784395 Regular bail was sought in a case alleging a large illegal-liquor syndicate operating through licensed shops and causing substantial loss to the exchequer.
