Arrest cannot be made in Routine Manner on mere Allegation of Offence under GST: Bombay HC grants Interim Bail to Accused [Read Order]
GST
The Bombay High Court granted interim bail to Mahesh Devchand Gala, criticizing routine arrests based solely on allegations under GST. Gala was detained overnight by CGST despite tax payments, leading to his arrest in March 2024. \r
His counsel argued the detention lacked justification, questioning the need for immediate action when documents weren't in question. Respondents defended the legality, citing explanations for delays. Justice Revati Mohite Dere stressed the significance of liberty, citing Supreme Court precedent on arbitrary arrests. \r
The court deprecated overnight detentions for questioning, whether voluntary or not. Gala was granted interim bail with cash bail and PR bond conditions, pending further hearing on June 24, 2024.
