Anticipatory Bail denied for bailable offences as value of false ITC claimed being less than 5 crores

Last updated: 07 September 2021
Quick Summary
The Gujarat High Court denied anticipatory bail to an applicant accused of availing false Input Tax Credit (ITC) amounting to less than 5 crores. The court ruled that since the alleged offence was bailable, there was no apprehension of arrest, making the application for anticipatory bail unsustainable. However, the court directed the authorities to provide 10 days' notice before any arrest if the falsely claimed ITC value later exceeds 5 crores, potentially making the offence non-bailable.
