A court in Ahmedabad has denied bail to journalist Mahesh Langa in a GST fraud case, observing that the offence alleged against him is serious and the offence being an economic one, affects the economy of the nation.
Additional Sessions Judge Hemangkumar Girishkumar Pandya said the applicant has fraudulently obtained GST credit of Rs 6,61,416 and is not entitled to bail.
"Economic offences constitute a class apart and need to be visited with a different approach in the matter of bail. The economic offence of having deep-rooted conspiracies and involving huge loss of public funds needs to be viewed seriously," the judge added.
