    Case Summary: CRM-M 25478/2026 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana granted bail to Gurwinder Singh in a drug and weapons smuggling case (FIR involving 1 kg heroin, 6 pistols, and ₹6 lakh cash) after he had been incarcerated for 8.5 months. The court held that although the contraband quantity is commercial under Section 37 of the NDPS Act (which typically restricts bail), prolonged incarceration without trial violates Article 21 constitutional rights, and bail cannot be fettered by statutory embargo when the right to speedy trial is infringed. The court noted the investigation was complete, co-accused had been released, and no contraband was recovered directly from the petitioner's possession. Bail was granted subject to standard conditions including furnishing bonds and not leaving India without court permission.
