JASJIT SINGH BEDI
Amrinder Singh – Appellant
Versus
State of Punjab – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Mr. Jasjit Singh Bedi, J. (Oral)
The prayer in the petition under Section 439 Cr.PC is for grant of regular bail in Complaint No.15 of 2021 titled as State v. Vinod Kumar & Ors. Registered on 12.05.2021 under Sections 132 (1) (a), (b) & (c) of Central Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017 and Punjab Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017 filed before the Court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Khanna, District Ludhiana.
2. The brief facts of the case as culled out from the complaint are as under:-
The court considered the evidence, duration of custody, and bail granted to co-accused in deciding to grant bail to the petitioner.
The severity of economic offences, the need for a different approach in bail matters, and the larger interest of the public and State in such cases influenced the court's decision.
The pendency of multiple FIRs against an accused does not justify the denial of bail if no incriminating evidence is presented.
The severity of economic offences, the nature of evidence, and the larger interests of the public are crucial factors in determining bail under Section 132 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, ....
Detention without substantial evidence and the principle of equal treatment in bail applications necessitate granting bail, especially when co-accused are already released.
