    Case Summary: CRM-M-16197-2026 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana granted regular bail to Kapil Kumar, arrested in March 2024 for alleged possession of 1.950 kg heroin under NDPS Act Sections 21, 21-C & 29. The court found that despite allegations of commercial quantity drug trafficking, the petitioner's prolonged incarceration (over 2 years) without trial completion, coupled with absence of criminal antecedents and alleged procedural violations under Sections 42 and 50 of NDPS Act, warranted bail. Following the Supreme Court's *Mohd Muslim v. State* precedent, the court held that bail under Section 37 NDPS Act must consider prima facie evidence and trial delays to avoid unjust preventive detention. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
