Case Law Details
Mr. Mahendra Kumar Singhi Vs Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Karnataka High Court)
Though several contentions have been raised with reference to initiation of the action under the GST Act and CST Act, since the scope of these petitions is limited only to consider the bail applications, the other points which have been raised are not dealt with in detail to dispose of these petitions. This Court while considering the similar aspect in Criminal Petition No.497/2019 c/w. Criminal Petition No.498/2019, disposed of on 18.2.2019 has discussed elaborately all the points and thereafter it has come to the conclusion that the accused-petitioners therein are entitled to be released on bail. In the instant case also, similar allegations have been made as against the petitioners and as the said aspect has already been covered by this Court in the aforesaid petitions by the order dated 18.2.2019, I feel that the petitioners herein are also entitled to be released on anticipatory bail.
Accordingly petitions are allowed.
The petitioners herein are granted anticipatory bail. In the event of their arrest in proceedings No. ADCOM/ENF/ SZ/ACCT.03/INS./2018-19, dated 9.1.2019, the petitioners herein are ordered to be released, subject to the following conditions:-
i) Each of the petitioners shall execute a personal bond for Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees five lakhs only) with two sureties for the like sum to the satisfaction of the apprehending authority or authorised officer.
