    The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Akashdeep Singh, who was arrested for possession of 20 grams of heroin (an intermediate quantity under NDPS Act). The court held that bail cannot be denied as pre-trial punishment, noting the petitioner had been in custody for two months, was no longer needed for investigation, and the trial would take considerable time. The court applied the principle that "bail is rule, jail is an exception." This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
