Balvinder Singh, the petitioner, sought regular bail before the Himachal Pradesh High Court in connection with FIR No. 58 dated 09.04.2026, registered at Police Station Bhawarna, District Kangra, for offences including assault with a knife, criminal intimidation, and possession of narcotic drugs (an intermediate quantity of Alprazolam and Clonazepam), among other charges under the BNS 2023, the Indian Arms Act, and the NDPS Act. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner drove a Thar in a reckless manner, blocked a Volvo bus, and then stabbed multiple bus crew members causing grievous injuries dangerous to life, while a co-accused brandished a pistol; drugs were also found in the petitioner's blood sample. The petitioner contended that the drug quantity was below commercial quantity so Section 37 NDPS Act rigours did not apply, the charge sheet had been filed, and continued custody served no purpose. The State opposed bail, arguing the injuries were grievous and dangerous to life, the petitioner was driving under the influence of drugs, and there was a risk of witness intimidation. The Court considered the parameters for granting bail as laid down by the Supreme Court 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 order on the bail petition.
