Anticipatory Bail Granted for GST Misappropriation | Mere Financial Irregularity Not an Offence Under IPC Sections 409, 420, 464, 468, 471 : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that mere financial irregularity in GST fund handling does not automatically constitute an offence under IPC Sections 409, 420, 464, 468, or 471. The court granted anticipatory bail, emphasizing that custodial interrogation was unnecessary where the accused had issued cheques to a tax consultant and was willing to provide specimen signatures.
