Rs. 704 Crores GST Fraud: Rajasthan HC refuses to Grant Bail to Accused Noting Custody Escape Attempt

In a major GST fraud case involving ₹704 crores, the Rajasthan High Court denied bail to the accused, citing an attempted escape from custody and seriousness of the charges. The Court stressed that economic offences of this scale require firm judicial treatment to prevent erosion of public revenue. The ruling reflects judiciary’s cautious stance in bail matters related to large-scale indirect tax evasion and reiterates the role of intent and conduct in bail evaluations.
