    Summary The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Bahadur Singh in an NDPS drug smuggling case, holding that prolonged incarceration for 1 year 8 months without trial commencement justified bail despite serious charges. The court reasoned that Section 37 of the NDPS Act's strict bail provisions must yield to constitutional protections under Article 21 when combined with trial delays and Section 436-A of the CrPC, citing Supreme Court precedent that overcrowded jails cause hardening rather than reform of inmates. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
