Waseem Akram @ Monu Vs State of U.P. (Allahabad High Court)
Summary: The Allahabad High Court has granted bail to Waseem Akram @ Monu in a case concerning an alleged GST fraud involving non-existing firm M/s Super Power Industries. The applicant sought bail in Case Crime No. 539 of 2025 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Brahampuri, District Meerut.
The applicant’s counsel submitted that he was innocent and had been falsely implicated. It was argued that the FIR concerning the alleged GST fraud did not name the applicant and that he had no connection with the allegations. The applicant also asserted that he was not the owner of M/s Super Power Industries, which had allegedly been declared bogus in November 2021, whereas the FIR was lodged approximately four years later on 04.11.2025.
It was further submitted that the applicant’s name surfaced in the matter through the statement of Sakeel Khan and that he was not a beneficiary in any manner. The applicant was stated to have no criminal history apart from the present case and had been in jail since 05.04.2026. It was also submitted that, considering the heavy pendency of cases, there was no likelihood of an early conclusion of the trial.
