Bail denied to accused of fake invoices due to ongoing investigations to unearth more fake suppliers

Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has upheld the denial of bail to Basudev Mittal, accused of fraudulently availing over ₹5 Crore in Input Tax Credit (ITC) by purchasing from firms with cancelled GST registrations. The court cited ongoing investigations into further fake suppliers and the risk of hampering evidence if bail were granted. The Chhattisgarh High Court had previously refused bail on similar grounds.
