The petitioner, Bhupender Singh, sought regular bail before the Himachal Pradesh High Court in connection with FIR No. 320 of 2024, registered at Police Station Sadar, District Kullu, for alleged possession of 3 kg 705 grams of charas, an offence punishable under Section 20 of the NDPS Act, 1985. The petitioner had been in custody for approximately one year and four months and argued false implication, call detail records casting doubt on the prosecution's version, delay in trial, and his roots in the local community. The State opposed bail, contending that the quantity recovered was a commercial quantity and that the stringent twin conditions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act were not satisfied. The court heard both sides and extensively considered the Supreme Court's principles on bail as laid down in cases such as Pinki v. State of U.P. (2025) 7 SCC 314 and related precedents. The judgment text as provided does not record a final operative order, as it concludes mid-analysis while discussing bail parameters.
