The petitioner, Amandeep Singh, sought regular bail before the Himachal Pradesh High Court in connection with FIR No. 78 of 2026 registered at Police Station Balh, District Mandi, for offences under Sections 20, 25, and 29 of the NDPS Act, 1985. He was one of four occupants of a vehicle intercepted by police near Shani Dev Temple, Nagchala, from which 832 grams of charas was recovered. The petitioner claimed innocence, asserting he was merely a passenger unaware of the contraband, and argued that the quantity recovered was 'intermediate', meaning the stringent conditions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act did not apply. The State opposed bail, contending the quantity was large, could not be for personal consumption, and that narcotics adversely affect the younger generation. The court considered the established Supreme Court principles on bail as laid down in Pinki v. State of U.P. (2025) 7 SCC 314 and related precedents, but the judgment text as provided does not record a final operative order.
