Quick Summary

The Gujarat High Court has granted bail to an advocate accused in a GST input tax credit (ITC) fraud case. The court noted that the advocate's role appeared to be primarily limited to compliance activities and that he was not a major participant in the alleged conspiracy. With the investigation complete and charge-sheet filed, the court found it a fit case to grant bail, emphasising that detention should not be punitive.
