GST, Customs Act fall under criminal law safeguards: SC
Mint New Delhi
|February 28, 2025
The court came out against coercion by enforcement officers during search and seizure ops
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that authorities must establish "reasons to believe" before initiating proceedings under the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act and the Customs Act, ensuring that arrests are not made arbitrarily.
A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justices M.M. Sundresh and Bela M. Trivedi held that individuals accused under GST and customs laws would be entitled to the same legal protections as those accused under criminal law.
The apex court clarified that the safeguards provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, now replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), apply to arrests under these tax laws.
The top court took a firm stance against threats and coercion by enforcement officers during search and seizure operations, ruling that such misconduct must result in departmental action.
