No anticipatory bail, GST violators can be arrested without FIR, clarifies SC

The Supreme Court suggested to the high courts on Wednesday not to grant anticipatory bail to those who default on the goods and services tax, reminding them that the SC has upheld the Telangana HC’s decision not to grant bail to such defaulters. A division bench of the Telangana HC had on April 18 upheld the authority and power of the commissioner of the central goods and services tax (CGST) to arrest, and rejected any interim relief to those accused of violating the CGST Act, 2017.
