The petitioner Pradyumen Singh sought regular bail in connection with FIR No. 41 of 2026 registered at Police Station Dhalli, Shimla, for offences under Sections 21 and 29 of the NDPS Act, following recovery of heroin, brown sugar, and methamphetamine from the house of co-accused Avantika Negi, where the petitioner was found present. The petitioner contended he had no connection with the room, was falsely implicated, and that the recovered quantities were below commercial quantity, making Section 37 of the NDPS Act inapplicable. The State opposed bail, asserting the petitioner had control over the articles in the room, had criminal antecedents, and that the investigation had revealed a larger drug network involving a third accused, Samar Singh. 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 earlier precedents, examining factors such as nature of the charge, evidence, severity of punishment, criminal antecedents, and public interest. The judgment text as provided does not record a final operative order, as it appears to be truncated before the court's ultimate decision on the bail petition.
