Bail granted to Chartered Accountant not being a beneficiary of illegal availment of ITC


Quick Summary
The Punjab & Haryana High Court has granted bail to a Chartered Accountant arrested for allegedly facilitating fictitious statements and forged invoices related to Input Tax Credit (ITC). The court noted that the accountant had been in judicial custody since October 2021 and that prolonged incarceration would unduly restrict personal liberty. Crucially, there was no tangible evidence that the accountant personally benefited from the illegal ITC.
