High Court Denies Police Custody in False GST Accounts Case, Citing Lack of Grounds for Custodial Interrogation.

March 26, 2024

Case Laws     GST     HC

Police Custody Petition - creating false GST accounts and claiming irregular Input Tax Credit - conspiracy with the companies with a common intention of misappropriating funds - Despite the prosecution's arguments emphasizing the severity of the offense and the accused's alleged involvement, the magistrate rejected the petition, citing insufficient grounds. The High Court, upon review, upheld the magistrate's decision, noting the absence of strong justification for custodial interrogation. Additionally, the court considered the findings of the DGGI investigation and a committee report, which cast doubt on the need for further police custody. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the criminal revision case.
