    The High Court granted bail to Navpreet Singh, accused of transporting 10 kg of opium under NDPS Act sections 18, 29 & 61, finding that his incarceration for over 20 months with minimal trial progress (only 1 of 16 witnesses examined) violated his Article 21 right to speedy trial. The court held that prolonged detention and trial delay override the Section 37 NDPS statutory bar on bail, emphasizing constitutional protections against extended pre-trial custody. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
