    Summary of CRLA No. 12/2026 (Chandan Singh Kunwar v. State of Uttarakhand): The High Court of Uttarakhand granted bail to Chandan Singh Kunwar, who was convicted under Section 8/20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The court found critical evidentiary flaws in the prosecution case—specifically, the specimen seal prepared at the recovery site bore an FIR number that was recorded much later, which the State counsel admitted but could not explain. The court suspended the execution of sentence and released the appellant on bail pending appeal, requiring a personal bond and two reliable sureties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
