    Summary: The Himachal Pradesh High Court granted regular bail to Purnima Lapang, who was arrested for alleged NDPS Act violations (Sections 21 and 29) after 50.340 grams of heroin was recovered from a room where she was present. Although the court accepted the prosecution's prima facie case that the petitioner was in possession of the contraband under the presumptions of Sections 35 and 54 of the NDPS Act, it allowed bail considering she is a woman with no criminal antecedents, the charge sheet has been filed, and no useful purpose would be served by continued detention. The petitioner was released on ₹1,00,000 bail with strict conditions including non-intimidation of witnesses, regular court attendance, and restrictions on movement.
