    Case Summary: CRM-M/3972/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana granted regular bail to Dalvir Singh (alias Soni) in his fourth petition for an NDPS Act case involving 262 grams of Tramadol Hydrochloride. Justice Manisha Batra held that prolonged incarceration of over 2 years and 4 months, combined with no trial progress (no prosecution witnesses examined), constitutes grounds for bail despite Section 37 NDPS restrictions, as it violates Article 21 constitutional protections. Key Reasoning: The court found that delay in trial and extended detention constitute a fresh circumstance justifying bail, even in drug offences, citing Supreme Court precedents establishing that Section 436-A CrPC applies to NDPS cases and constitutional rights override statutory embargoes when incarceration becomes unjustifiably prolonged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
