Directors Accused of GST Fraud Through Fake Invoices Get Bail After 5 Months Under Section 70 CGST Act

March 1, 2025

Case Laws     GST     HC

HC granted regular bail to directors accused of GST fraud involving fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) through multiple firms. The accused allegedly arranged fake invoices and ITC claims, receiving cash commissions. While prosecution claimed 1,267 beneficiaries were involved, specific details and commission amounts remained undisclosed. The primary evidence was confessions under Section 70 CGST Act. Given that investigation was complete, chargesheet filed, offenses carried maximum 5-year punishment, and accused spent over 5 months in custody with no immediate trial prospects, HC deemed continued detention unjustified. Bail was granted subject to furnishing bonds and sureties to trial court's satisfaction.
