business βοΈ SC overturns bail relief for Sunil Biyani in GST scam
The Supreme Court set aside a Bombay High Court ruling that protected Sunil Biyani from arrest related to a βΉ1,200-crore GST scam. The High Court had granted this protection despite noting Biyani's anticipatory bail application was premature. The ruling came after the Central government questioned the High Court's jurisdiction on this matter. The Bench ruled that the manner of granting arrest protection by the High Court was not permissible by law. The court emphasized that GST authorities must clearly communicate any arrest orders to those concerned. π§
