Mahaveer Sharan Pahadiya vs U.P State Government — 365/2026

Court Decision Summary The Additional Sessions Judge, Auriya, rejected the anticipatory bail petition of Mahavir Sharan Pahadia in a GST fraud case (Crime No. 543/2025 under BNS Sections 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 317(2), 3(5)). The court found that the applicant allegedly created fake companies with forged documents, fraudulently claimed ₹229.50 lakh in Input Tax Credit (ITC), and caused revenue loss to the government. Though the applicant argued he was falsely implicated based on a co-accused's statement and lacked criminal history, the court held that anticipatory bail is an exceptional remedy not granted routinely for grave offenses, and dismissed the petition in the interest of justice.
