    Case Summary: CRM-M No.5444/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana granted regular bail to Manjit Singh alias Kaka in an NDPS Act case involving 2.5 kg heroin, despite Section 37's stringent requirements, because he had suffered prolonged incarceration (13+ months) with trial still in preliminary stages and no charges framed. The court held that excessive pre-trial delay violates the accused's fundamental right to speedy trial under Article 21, which can override statutory bail restrictions when justifiable cause for delay is absent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
