    Summary The Punjab & Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Shukar Punn, who had been in custody for over three years on NDPS charges involving possession of 2 kg of charas. Justice Manisha Batra ruled that prolonged incarceration combined with trial delay—only 4 of 8 prosecution witnesses examined—constituted grounds for bail despite the commercial quantity recovered, relying on Supreme Court precedents holding that constitutional protections under Article 21 override Section 37 NDPS Act restrictions. The petitioner was released on personal and surety bonds with conditions including appearance before police monthly and passport deposit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
