Sh. Ashish Goyal S/O Sh. Radhey Shyam v. Union of India

In a bail petition under Section 132(1)(ch) and 132(5) CGST Act, the High Court distinguished analogous Supreme Court precedents regarding economic offenses, noting the severe pecuniary loss involved. Dismissing the bail plea, the Court held that the large-scale fraudulent availment of input tax credit via fake invoices rendered bail undesirable in the national interest.
What did the court decide?
Petitioner's bail application dismissed despite arguments citing economic offenses precedent.
