The Chhattisgarh High Court has granted bail to a person allegedly committed the offense of fabrication of GST portal and e-way bills. The bail was granted with conditions including the issue of personal bond.
The applicant, Anil Rai along with his accomplice namely, transporter Gurjeet Singh has issued forged Lorry receipts and claimed that the truck has been loaded so that they may extract full payment from the Objector. During the period, total goods of Rs.16,72,75,332/- were supplied and balance of goods to the tune of Rs.8,13,12,184.25/- is due against the applicant. The department found that the applicant Anil Rai has also manipulated and fabricated the GST portal. Another accused namely Sunil Rai, who is also one of the Directors, is still absconding. It was contended that the applicant has cheated so many persons by following the same modus operandi. The applicant also in a fraudulent manner created records on the GST website and fabricated e-way bills and other documents.
While disposing the bail application, Justice Deepak Kumar Tiwari granted bail with conditions and observed that “having considered the submissions, nature of allegations, further considering the undertaking given by the applicants that they are ready and willing to return the amount of Rs.3,35,08,958.91/- within 4 months and if the complainant is interested to receive the scrap materials of the said value, then the scrap materials may be supplied to the complainant, on which learned counsel for the complainant, on instructions, would submit that he is not interested to receive the supply of scrap materials, and without further commenting anything on the merits of the case, this Court is inclined to grant bail to both the applicants.”
