    The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Surjeet Singh, arrested for NDPS Act violations involving commercial quantity heroin (1.012 kg) and ₹3 lakh, after he served over 13 months in custody with minimal trial progress (only 1 of 19 prosecution witnesses examined). The court held that prolonged pre-trial detention without justifiable delay violates Article 21 rights and can override Section 37 NDPS Act's stringent bail restrictions when trial progress is inadequate. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
