Case Law Details
Kishore Wadhwani Vs. State of M.P. (Madhya Pradesh High Court)
The petitioner filed the petition seeking released from the court against the allegations under section 439 of the Cr.P.C. in crime no.23/2020 registered under section 132(1)(a) (i) of the Goods and Services Tax Act.
The petitioner, is Director of a Media Company, which publishes a daily newspaper in the name and style of “Dabang Dunia”. Several vehicles found indulged in clandestine removal or transportation of Pan Masala were having stickers of Dabang Dunia press and drivers of these vehicles were found carrying Identity Cards of Dabang Dunia. This shows that the petitioner was well involved in the alleged tax evasion.
High Court states that, the documents produced before the Court as well as the statements recorded under Section 70 of the G.S.T. Act. Elaborate discussion of all this evidence, which is otherwise confidential, would not be appropriate as it may affect the case of either party. But on careful consideration of the evidence on record, HC is of the considered opinion that it would be appropriate to allow the petition, therefore, without commenting on merits of the case, the petition is allowed. It is directed that the petitioner be released from custody on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,00,000/- with one solvent surety to the satisfaction of the Trial Court for his appearance before it.
