    Summary: The High Court of Uttarakhand granted bail to appellants Bhagwan Devi and Lakhwindar Singh, who were convicted under Sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act, 1985 for alleged charas possession. The court found critical procedural irregularities in the investigation—specifically, the sample seal bore the FIR number despite being prepared before the FIR was lodged—raising serious doubts about case credibility. The appellants must execute personal bonds with two sureties each and will remain released during pendency of their appeals, with sentence execution suspended. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
