Karan Bhalla filed a petition before the Himachal Pradesh High Court seeking regular bail in connection with FIR No. 02 of 2026, registered at Police Station Chowari, District Chamba, for offences under Sections 21 and 29 of the NDPS Act. The prosecution alleged that on 01.01.2026, police on patrolling duty apprehended three persons, including the petitioner, near a rain shelter at Keru Pahad, and recovered 22.04 grams of heroin (confirmed as diacetylmorphine by SFSL analysis) from a packet thrown by co-accused Suraj Singh @ Sethi Singh. The petitioner contended that he was falsely implicated and that the recovery was made from a co-accused, with no direct material connecting him to the offence. The court considered the established Supreme Court parameters for granting bail, including the nature of the charge, severity of punishment, likelihood of reoffending, and prima facie evidence against the accused. The judgment text as provided does not record a final order, as it concludes mid-analysis while citing Supreme Court precedents on bail principles.
