    Case Summary: CRM-M/10177/2026 The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Manpreet Singh (alias Rinku) on May 14, 2026, who had been in custody for over six years in a murder case (FIR No. 49, 2020) involving charges under IPC sections 302, 380, and 34. Justice Subhas Mehla found merit in the petition citing: prolonged custody duration, clean antecedents, similarity to co-accused Beer Singh's bail grant by a coordinate bench, and the considerable time needed for trial completion. The court held that bail cannot be denied as punishment and applied the principle that "bail is a rule, jail is an exception," ordering the petitioner's release upon furnishing requisite bonds. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
