Govind Ram, the petitioner, sought regular bail before the Himachal Pradesh High Court in connection with FIR No. 140 of 2025 registered at Police Station Paonta Sahib, District Sirmour, for offences under Sections 22 and 29 of the NDPS Act. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner was a pillion rider on a motorcycle intercepted by police, from which 2386 capsules of Tramadol (1.374 kg) and 596 tablets of Alprazolam (0.112 grams) were recovered from the bag of the driver, co-accused Narinder Kumar. The petitioner contended that no recovery was made directly from him, that co-accused had already been granted bail on parity grounds, and that the trial involving 31 witnesses would take considerable time. The State opposed bail, arguing that the quantity recovered was commercial and that the stringent twin conditions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act were not satisfied. The Court considered the broad principles for grant of bail as laid down by the Supreme Court in Pinki v. State of U.P. (2025) 7 SCC 314 and other precedents, but the judgment text as provided does not record a final order.
