GST Fraud Case: Court Rejects FIR Quashment Despite Section 132(6) CGST Act Protection Claim

March 18, 2025

Case Laws GST HC

The HC dismissed a petition seeking quashment of an FIR filed under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B IPC related to tax fraud. While the petitioner argued protection under Section 132(6) of CGST Act, the court distinguished that the prosecution was for IPC offenses, not CGST violations. The petitioner allegedly fabricated tax invoices through "Dabang Duniya" publication, falsely claiming sales of 100,000 copies daily (versus actual 5,000-8,000) to facilitate GST evasion of approximately 500 crore. The court rejected both the quashment request and the constitutional challenge to Section 132(6), finding no grounds to interfere with the ongoing investigation.
