Mahesh Langa, a journalist and Senior Assistant Editor at The Hindu newspaper, approached the Gujarat High Court on Friday, October 11, challenging the 10-day police remand granted by a magisterial court in connection with an alleged Goods and Services Tax (GST) “fraud” case.
During the hearing, a single-judge bench of Justice Sandeep N. Bhatt directed the State’s counsel to seek instructions and listed the matter for October 14. The court also instructed Langa’s counsel to provide a copy of the petition to the State’s counsel, who informed the court that she had not yet received the documents.
