Transit Anticipatory Bail Permitted for CGST Act Section 132 Offences Across States | Karnataka HC Sets 10-Day Window with Strict Flight Risk Conditions
The Karnataka High Court has granted transit anticipatory bail to individuals facing DGGI probes in Chennai, allowing them 10 days to appear before the jurisdictional court while imposing stringent conditions to prevent evasion. This ruling clarifies that geographical jurisdiction does not bar bail under Section 438 CrPC when the accused are residents of Karnataka, setting a precedent for economic offence cases involving multi-state investigations.
