    The Punjab & Haryana High Court granted bail to Jaswant Singh, who was arrested for allegedly cutting a complainant's beard/hair and unfurling a Khalistan flag under BNS sections 299, 351(2), 115(2), 61(2), and 152. The court found that after two months in custody, with investigation complete and challan filed but charges not yet framed, continued detention would violate Article 21 rights, as prolonged pre-trial detention without prospect of near-future trial conclusion contradicts the principle that "bail is a rule, jail is an exception." This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
