Tax fraud accused gets bail relief; HC scraps Rs. 1 cr deposit condition, asks to submit passport instead.

December 20, 2024

Case Laws     GST     HC

The HC allowed the petition filed u/s 482 CrPC. It set aside the trial court's condition directing the petitioner, accused of fraudulently availing Input Tax Credit under the CGST Act, to deposit Rs. 1 crore for bail. The HC held that while courts can accept cash security when the accused cannot furnish sureties, directing deposit of a substantial sum should be avoided. Considering the gravity of the Rs. 8 crore offence, the HC directed the petitioner to submit his passport to the trial court and not leave India without its permission, instead of depositing Rs. 1 crore.
