The note emphasises that bail remains the rule, pre-trial incarceration should not be prolonged without necessity, and the seriousness of the alleged offence by itself does not justify continued detention. It also highlights constitutional personal liberty and the need for speedy trial as relevant considerations in assessing whether arrest and further custody are justified. On these facts, the petitioner was treated as entitled to bail. en-us Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:42:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=793009 Bail in a GST prosecution may be granted where the case is largely documentary, relevant records are secured, custody has already continued for several months, and there is no material showing risk of tampering with evidence, absconding, or non-cooperation.
