JUDGMENT PRONOUNCED ON:                                            12/09/2025

1.     The present miscellaneous application has been filed by the

accused/petitioner (hereinafter referred to as the 'petitioner')

under Section 528 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023

(hereinafter referred to as 'BNSS') seeking modification/deletion

of condition No. (i) and condition No. (ii) imposed by this Court

while granting bail vide order dated 16.06.2025 passed in S.B.

Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 6128/2025.

2.     Brief facts giving rise to the present application are that

Case No. F.No.DGGI/INV/GST/2764/2023-Gr.C was registered

                       (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM)

 [2025:RJ-JP:34798]                    (2 of 14)                    [CRLMA-322/2025]

against the petitioner for alleged offences under Sections 132(1)

(a), (e), (f) and (l) read with Sections 132(1)(i) and 132(iv)(5) of

the CGST Act. The allegation against the petitioner is that he has

evaded GST to the tune of Rs. 8.75 crores, on the following

charges:--

             "i) That the petitioner was selling tyres and tyre-
             tubes without issuance of invoices or challans;

             ii) That the petitioner was selling motorcycle
             tyres and tubes by wrongly using invoices meant
             for cycles;

             iii) That the petitioner sold tyres and tubes at
             prices lower than their actual value."

3.    In connection with the aforesaid case, the petitioner filed a

regular bail application under Section 483 of BNSS, which was

allowed by this Court vide order dated 16.06.2025, subject to the

following conditions:

                "(i) he shall not leave the country without
                prior permission of the court.

                (ii) he shall deposit the passport before the
                concerned authority.

                (iii) he shall co-operate in the trial and shall
                attend each and every date of hearing in the
                trial, until and unless his presence is
                exempted by the trial court.

                (iv) in case, the above conditions are not
                complied by the petitioner, thus the
                respondent prosecution shall be free to move
                for cancellation bail application."

4.    The inherent powers of this Court are hereby invoked under

section 528, BNSS, seeking modification of the order dated

16.06.2025 passed in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application

No. 6128/2025, to the extent that the said order granting regular

bail under Section 483 of BNSS in favour of the petitioner is a bit

onerous and causing immense hardship to him to fulfill his

business/professional pursuits.

5.      Learned      Counsel    for     the    petitioner           submits     that    the

petitioner, a businessman by vocation, is a Director in M/s

Kalivahan Rubber Private Limited, a partner in M/s Kalivahan,

and the Proprietor of M/s Kalivahan Rubber Udyog; the aforesaid

entities are engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling

various types of tyres and tubes. The learned counsel for the

petitioner further contended that, being the operational head of

these    entities,     the   petitioner        is    actively        involved      in   the

international expansion of business operations, and owing to such

nature     of   work,    the     petitioner         requires        to   travel    abroad

frequently, and has done so in the past, in the ordinary course of

business, the same was supported with copies placed on record,

marked as Annexure-A/2 (Colly). He also submits that looking to

the facts stated above, the restrictions imposed vide conditions

No. (i) and No. (ii) of the order dated 16.06.2025 are a bit

onerous and causing serious prejudice to the petitioner as they

restrain    him      from    undertaking            his   international           business

commitments freely.


6.      The learned Counsel for the petitioner further contended

that since: (i) the entire family of the petitioner, including his

parents and spouse, are permanent residents of India, and the

wife of the petitioner is also undergoing medical treatment in

India, therefore, the petitioner is not at flight risk; (ii) the

petitioner undertakes to file a written intimation before the

learned Trial Court as well as before the concerned authority,

disclosing the proposed dates of travel, place of stay, expected

duration of visit, and contact details including mobile number and

e-mail address; (iii) the petitioner further undertakes to ensure

his presence before the learned Trial Court as and when required

and also undertakes not to misuse the liberty so granted; (iv) the

petitioner's passport is due for renewal and is about to expire on

27.12.2025; and (v) the petitioner is also willing to furnish an

enhanced security amount, if so directed by this Court, as a

condition for modifying the conditions of bail, thus, the petitioner

may kindly be granted modification of the bail conditions as

prayed for.


7.     Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the

judgment passed in the matter of Jagdish Arora and Ors. vs.

Union of India1, another judgment passed in the matter of

Aman Kumar Singh and Anr. vs. State of Chhattisgarh 2, and

in the matter of Kirti Vishwanath Kedia vs. Central Bureau

of Investigation (EOB) and Anr.3


8.     Per contra, learned counsel for the prosecuting agency has

opposed the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner

and contended that no review, alteration or modification of the

order granting regular bail under Section 483 of BNSS is

permissible by invoking inherent powers under Section 528 of

BNSS. It is further argued that this Court has become functus

officio and, in view of the bar contained under Section 403 of

BNSS, no modification of the bail conditions can be carried out.

9.     In order to buttress his contention, learned counsel for the

respondents has placed reliance upon the judgments passed in

Barun Chandra Thakur vs. Ryan Augustine Pinto and Anr. 4;

in Disha A. Ravi vs. State (NCT of Delhi)5, and in Aparna

Purohit vs. State of U.P. and Anr.6


10.    During the course of arguments, it was further informed by

the counsel for the parties that charges have not been framed in

the matter as yet and the Bail Order dated 16.06.2025 has not

been assailed by the Prosecution.


11.    Heard and considered the submissions made at bar and

perused the material available on record, as well as the

judgments relied upon by the learned counsel for the respective

parties.


12.    Firstly, this Court shall deal with the arguments advanced

by    the    counsel       for    the     respondent         with      regards     to      the

maintainability of this petition and whether this Court has

become functus officio in view of the bar contained under Section

403 of the BNSS.


13.    While      dealing        with   similar       issue,     the   High      Court      of

Chhattisgarh in Aman Kumar (Supra), while distinguishing the

judgment passed in the Aparna Purohit (Supra) relied upon by

the respondent, not only overruled the similar objections but also

allowed the petition under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C.7, while

 [2025:RJ-JP:34798]                     (6 of 12)                     [CRLMA-322/2025]


modifying the bail conditions, the Court held as under:

         "27. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matters of Amarnath
         (supra) and Usman Bhai (supra) has categorically held that
         granting or refusing of bail applications, summoning
         witnesses, adjourning cases, passing orders for bail, calling
         for reports etc. are interlocutory orders. Though some of
         the High Courts have held that the grant or refusal of a bail
         application is the final order, in those cases the above-
         stated judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court were not
         taken into consideration.

         28. Further "conditions" alone are neither judgments nor
         orders disposing of the case in the eyes of law. The final
         order in bail application is its refusal or grant. Conditions
         are imposed to bind an accused so he or she may cooperate
         in the smooth disposal of criminal case/s pending against
         him/ her. Section 362 of Cr.P.C. prohibits review or
         alteration of final judgment or order but the conditions are
         neither judgment nor final order disposing of a case
         therefore in the opinion of this Court conditions of bail order
         can be modified. For example, if an accused is not capable
         of furnishing bail and bonds as directed by the Court then
         the same Court modifies the order. Another example is if an
         application for a grant of regular bail is rejected on merits
         and the accused moves repeat application on the ground of
         delay in trial, the same Court grants bail. Thus the practice
         of modification of bail orders is not alien to criminal
         jurisprudence and the same has been prevalent for a long.

         .......

35. In the matter of Aparna Purohit (supra), various judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court have been taken into consideration while holding that the alteration/review of the order is not permissible, it is also held that the order granting bail is a final order; therefore, the provisions of Section 362 of the Cr.P.C. would apply. However, in the matter of Aparna Purohit (supra), the judgments passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Amarnath (supra) and Usman Bhai Dawoodbhai Menon (supra) have not been taken into consideration, wherein it is categorically held that the grant or refusal of a bail application, order summoning the witnesses, adjournment of the cases are interlocutory orders. When the order granting or refusing bail is an interlocutory order, the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for modification of conditions of bail order would be permissible, and the provisions of Section 362 of the Cr.P.C. would not attract.

......

42. Therefore, this Court by invoking its powers under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C., is inclined to modify conditions No. 1, 5, 6 and 7 as under:-

..........."
(Emphasis Supplied) Thus, I see no reason to take a contrary view, particularly when the facts in Aman Kumar (Supra) are materially (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (7 of 12) [CRLMA-322/2025] indistinguishable from those in the present Misc. Application before me.
14. It is also pertinent to mention here that once bail is granted subject to certain conditions by the High Court under Section 483 of the BNSS, as in the present case, the power to alter or delete the conditions subject to which bail is granted is also inherently vested with this Court. Though the power of amending or deleting such conditions is not expressly provided under the BNSS, the remedy available for seeking such modification/deletion lies in invoking the inherent powers under Section 528 of the BNSS so as to secure the ends of justice.
15. The object behind vesting inherent powers in this Court is to ensure complete justice and to prevent any miscarriage of justice. Such inherent powers are saved with this Court to be exercised in circumstances where it is necessary either to secure complete justice or to prevent failure of justice, even though there may be no express statutory provision under the BNSS in that regard. The constitutional safeguards of personal liberty further reinforce the exercise of such inherent jurisdiction when justice so demands.
16. Therefore, argument of the learned Counsel for the respondent that the present petition is not maintainable, or that this Court has become functus officio, lacks merit.
17. It is trite law that every bail application touches upon the realm of the fundamental right to personal liberty, and the (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (8 of 12) [CRLMA-322/2025] procedure of granting bail and of subjecting such bail to conditions is governed by the statutory provisions of the BNSS as well as judicial pronouncements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
18. It is not disputed that traveling abroad is one of the conditions requiring the petitioner to seek prior permission;

nevertheless, the requirement for the petitioner to obtain prior permission from the learned Trial Court before every international trip, as submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner, is a bit onerous and hampers the smooth functioning of business and professional activities of the petitioner, considering the urgent and unpredictable nature of his travel needs. However, in view of the petitioner's business requirements, the right to personal liberty safeguarded by Article 21 of the Constitution remains sacrosanct but is subject to relevant statutory regulations concerning travel. This fundamental right under Article 21 can admittedly be curtailed only through procedure established by law.

19. A similar view has been expressed in a judgment passed by a Co-ordinate Bench this Court in Ashutosh Bajoria Vs. Rajesh Kumar Sharma8, wherein while referring to judgments by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Smt. Maneka Gandhi Vs. Union of India9 and Satish Chandra Verma v. Union of India 10, the Court has held as under:

"16. Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Smt. Maneka Gandhi (supra) has held that the expression "personal liberty" under Article 21 of the Constitution of India has a wider amplitude, which includes right to go abroad. A person cannot be deprived to this 8 2023 (1) Crimes 419 (Raj.) 9 AIR 1978 SC 597 10 Civil Appeal No. 3802/2019 decided on 09.04.2019 (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (9 of 12) [CRLMA-322/2025] right except in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the law.

17. Similarly in the case of Satish Chandra Verma (supra), the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that :-

"The right to travel abroad is an important basic human right for it nourishes independent and self- determining creative character of the individual, not only by extending his freedoms of action, but also by extending the scope of his experience. The right also extends to private life; marriage; family and friendship are humanities which can be rarely affected through refusal of freedom to go abroad and clearly show that this freedom is a genuine human right (see: Mrs. Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India and Another (1978) 1 SCC 248. In the said judgment, there is a reference to the words of Justice Douglas in Kent v. Dulles 357 US 116 which are as follows:
"Freedom to go abroad has much social value and represents the basic human right of great significance." "

18. This court is required to draw a balance between the right of the petitioner to travel abroad and also the right of the prosecution to duly prosecute the petitioner so as to prevent him from evading the trial. From perusal of the various judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court it is clear that the paramount consideration is given to the condition imposed upon the persons who have been granted permission to go abroad, so as to ensure that they do not flee from justice. For ensuring the presence of the accused before the Trial Court, any appropriate condition can be imposed and in case the condition imposed by law is violated, appropriate coercive action can be taken. The judgment cited by the counsel for the respondent in the case of Barun Chandra Thakur (supra), is not applicable in the facts and circumstances of this case."

(Emphasis Supplied)

20. A similar view was taken by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the matter of Parvez Noordin Lokhandwalla Vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors.11

17. In Sumit Mehta v. State (NCT of Delhi) MANU/SC/0935/2013 : (2013) 15 SCC 570, in the context of conditions Under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, this Court observed that a balance has to be struck between the rights of the Accused and the enforcement of the criminal justice system while imposing conditions on the grant of bail:

11. While exercising power Under Section 438 of the Code, the Court is duty bound to strike a balance between the individual's right to personal freedom and the right of investigation of the police. For the same, while granting relief Under Section 438(1), appropriate conditions can be imposed Under Section 438(2) so as to ensure an uninterrupted investigation.

The object of putting such conditions should be to avoid the possibility of the person hampering the 11 2020 INSC 573 (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (10 of 13) [CRLMA-322/2025] investigation. Thus, any condition, which has no reference to the fairness or propriety of the investigation or trial, cannot be countenanced as permissible under the law. So, the discretion of the Court while imposing conditions must be exercised with utmost restraint.

This Court also discussed the scope of the discretion of the court to impose "any condition" on the grant of bail and observed:

15. The words "any condition" used in the provision should not be regarded as conferring absolute power on a Court of law to impose any condition that it chooses to impose. Any condition has to be interpreted as a reasonable condition acceptable in the facts permissible in the circumstance and effective in the pragmatic sense and should not defeat the order of grant of bail.
18. In Barun Chandra Thakur v. Ryan Augustine Pinto, this Court restored a condition mandating that the Respondent seek prior permission from a competent court for travel abroad. The condition, which was originally imposed by the High Court while granting anticipatory bail was subsequently deleted by it. This Court made the following observations with respect to imposing restrictions on the Accused's right to travel:
9 . ....There could be no gainsaying to that the right to travel abroad is a valuable one and an integral part of the right to personal liberty. Equally, however, the pre-condition of securing prior permission before travelling abroad is a crucial ingredient which undoubtedly was engrafted as a condition for the grant of anticipatory-bail in this case. ......At best, the condition for seeking permission before travelling abroad could have been regulated, not deleted altogether.
19. This Court has passed multiple orders previously allowing an Accused enlarged on bail to travel abroad. In Ganpati Ramnath v. State of Bihar, this Court allowed an Accused-applicant to travel abroad for medical treatment, modifying its earlier bail order, noting that the applicant had travelled abroad on the ground of medical necessity on six occasions with the permission of the court and had returned. In K. Mohammed v. The State of Kerala, this Court allowed the Accused-Appellant to travel abroad to meet in the exigencies of a family situation. In Tarun Trikha v. State of West Bengal, this Court allowed the Accused-

Petitioner to travel to Indonesia in connection with his employment and to return once the work was completed. In Pitam Pradhan v. State of A.P., this Court while granting anticipatory bail, permitted the Petitioner to travel abroad noting that his job required him to travel abroad at frequent intervals and may lose his employment if he were not permitted to travel abroad.

21. As regard to the judgments relied upon by the counsel for the respondent, though there is no quarrel on the legal position propounded by the judgments relied upon by the respondent, but (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (11 of 14) [CRLMA-322/2025] in the respectful opinion of this Court, the same are distinguishable on facts as in Barun Chandra Thakur (Supra):

(a) accused was charged under the POCSO Act12, a crime much more grave and heinous than the one in the present matter; (b) the offence is triable by a special court under a special legislation whereas in the present case the offences are triable by magistrate; (c) the petitioner therein was not a business head required to travel to meet his business/professional pursuits; (d) the said judgment relates to allowing of a second bail modification application without any significant changes after dismissal of the first bail modification application; (e) even otherwise the present case does not pertain to altogether deletion of condition no. (i) imposed by this Court rather an endeavor to regulate the same, in order to strike a balance between the right of the petitioner to travel abroad and also the right of the prosecution to duly prosecute the petitioner so as to prevent him from evading the trial as well as while considering Article 21 of the Constitution of India in the light of the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court passed in Maneka Gandhi (Supra), Satish Chandra Verma (Supra) and Parvez Noordin Lokhandwalla (Supra).

22. Further, in Disha A. Rani (Supra) the accused was allegedly involved in a conspiracy to wage war against the country; and in Aparna Purohit (Supra) accused was booked under section 153-A, 295, 505 (1)(b), 505 (2) and 469 of the Code13, and under section 66, 66-F and 67-I of the IT Act, 12 Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 13 Indian Penal Code, 1860 (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (12 of 14) [CRLMA-322/2025] 200014; it is pertinent to note here that in both these cases the investigations were pending, and charge-sheets had not been filed when the bail modification had been taken up in the Court; whereas in the present case the investigation has been completed, charge-sheet has been filed in the matter. Therefore, even these cases are distinguishable on facts.

23. Therefore, looking to the fact that: (i) the petitioner is a Director in the company M/s Kalivahan Rubber Private Limited, a partner in M/s Kalivahan Tyres LLP, and the proprietor of M/s Kalivahan Rubber Udyog, and that, being the operational head, the petitioner is involved in the international expansion of the business of the said entities. Looking to the nature of his work, the petitioner has to frequently travel abroad for business-related work as the machinery, parts thereof and raw materials required by the petitioner's company are not available domestically at competitive prices or as per technical standards; (ii) the entire family of the petitioner, including his parents and spouse, are permanent residents of India, and the wife of the petitioner is also undergoing medical treatment in India, therefore, the petitioner is not at flight risk; (iii) the petitioner undertakes to regularly apprise the learned Trial Court of his movements and particulars of travel abroad; (iv) the petitioner is willing to furnish an enhanced security amount; (v) the petitioner's passport is due for renewal and is about to expire on 27.12.2025; (vi) the Supreme Court has emphasized time and again of the sanctity of Article 21; and (vii) the alleged evasion of tax amounts to a total 14 Information Technology Act, 2000 (Uploaded on 12/09/2025 at 03:09:54 PM) (Downloaded on 12/09/2025 at 09:25:06 PM) [2025:RJ-JP:34798] (13 of 14) [CRLMA-322/2025] of Rs.8.75 Crores only, this Court is of the considered opinion that the peculiar facts surrounding the case of the petitioner and the submissions put forth for the petitioner have some substance.

24. Therefore, taking an overall view of the case in the peculiar facts and circumstances, this Court deems it proper to invoke its inherent power under section 528 of BNSS to substitute/modify bail conditions imposed in para 9 of the order dated 16.06.2025 in S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 6128/2025 as under:

This is to ensure that the whereabouts of the petitioner are duly known to the concerned authority. The petitioner shall also state on affidavit that he would not undertake a foreign visit after the case is fixed for final argument till the judgment is pronounced, so the hearing of the case may not be delayed. But if the final argument is unnecessarily delayed by the Prosecution, the petitioner will be at liberty to move an appropriate application for necessary orders before this Court.
