    Case Summary: CRM-M/66906/2025 Decision: The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Bhim Kumar Thukral on March 24, 2026, in his second bail petition for an NDPS Act violation involving possession of commercial quantity of narcotic tablets. Key Reasoning: The court held that Thukral's prolonged incarceration of over 21 months, combined with slow trial progress (only 3 of 16 prosecution witnesses examined), constituted sufficient grounds for bail reconsideration despite the serious nature of the charges. The court emphasized that prolonged pre-trial detention should not become punitive and cited Supreme Court precedents establishing that Section 436-A CrPC and constitutional protections under Article 21 override NDPS Act Section 37 restrictions in cases of excessive incarceration delay. Conditions: Release on personal and surety bonds with requirements to attend all trial dates and refrain from intimidating witnesses. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
