The Allahabad High Court rejected bail in a large GST fraud involving fake invoices and dummy firms used to generate fraudulent input tax credit. The Court held that economic offences causing huge loss to public funds require a stricter approach to bail.
High Courts have emphasized that ITC cannot be denied solely on the basis of a supplier being declared non-existent. Authorities must provide evidence of the buyer’s involvement and follow principles of natural justice.
The High Court refused regular bail citing serious allegations of breach of trust and forgery involving substantial GST refund transactions. The petitioner’s prior absconding and risk of re-absconding were key reasons for denial.

SC directed completion of investigation within three months, ordering bail if probe is not concluded. The ruling balances prolonged custody against seriousness of allegations.
