Supreme Court Overturns Bombay HC's Interim Arrest Protection for Future Group Director
The Supreme Court set aside a Bombay High Court order granting Future Group director Sunil Biyani seven days' protection from arrest in a GST evasion investigation, ruling that the High Court could not grant such relief after deeming his anticipatory bail plea premature. The Court clarified that GST authorities must communicate arrest reasons under Section 69 of the CGST Act, which can be done via email. The decision followed the Centre's appeal against the High Court's interim protection order.
