Section 7 & 13(1)(a) PCA | Bail Denied for Active Role in Bribe Delivery and Evidence Concealment: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court denied bail to a CGST official for directly facilitating a Rs. 70 lakh bribe and tampering with seized tax evasion documents, establishing that active participation in corruption and obstruction of justice overrides routine bail considerations. This ruling reinforces that mere possession of office does not shield public servants from stringent bail scrutiny when they act as operational conduits in bribery networks.
