    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana granted bail to Sher Singh, accused of NDPS Act and Arms Act violations, based on prolonged incarceration of approximately 4 years and 7 months and minimal trial progress (only 6 of 36 prosecution witnesses examined). The court held that while Section 37 of the NDPS Act restricts bail for drug offences, constitutional protections under Article 21 and Section 436-A of the Criminal Procedure Code override statutory restrictions when an accused faces unreasonable delay, citing Supreme Court precedent that prolonged detention violates fundamental rights and hardens rather than reforms inmates. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
