💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the power of arrest under the amended customs and central goods and services tax (GST) laws. In appropriate cases, pre-arrest bail can be granted, and it's not necessary to move pleas only after an FIR. The court ruled that customs officers have the statutory authority to investigate and arrest offenders under relevant laws.
