2024 (1) TMI 126 - MADRAS HIGH COURTSeeking cancellation of the bail granted to the respondent/accused - suppression of value of taxable supplies and non issuance of invoices with intention to evade payment of GST - HELD THAT:- When the arrest memo does not contain the reasons why the individual has to be arrested which would also be the grounds for the arrest then, at this stage, it may not be appropriate on the part of this Court to go on a hunting spree trying to cull out the reasons for arrest. They may be available in the file and it is always be to the respondent to examine them but as observed by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, the accused was not furnished with a copy of any reason to believe that it is imperative that he must be arrested. On the side of the petitioner, a grievance is expressed that the learned Sessions Judge had given findings which might play upon the mind of trial Judge during the course of recording of evidence and while deciding the finality of the case - Any Judgment passed would be on the basis of the records available / materials produced and those materials would primarily be the complaint, the oral and documentary evidence, produced during the course of trial. An order granting or denying bail can never be looked upon as sufficient material for passing a Judgment of either conviction or acquittal. This Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed.
