Facts- The petitioners are alleged to have floated bogus firms and by entering into bogus transactions with bigger firms, they were getting huge amounts deposited in the bank accounts of the bogus firms so floated and were eventually facilitating the big firms to save on GST in a fraudulent manner and thus, deprived the State Exchequer of the GST which was legitimately due. It was informed that the said accused were moving about in Hyundai ‘i20’ car while carrying laptops and were waiting for someone near the T-point railway line, Grain Market.
Conclusion- The petitioner has been behind the bars for a substantial period of 2 ½ years.
