**** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J.(ORAL) 1.

The prayer in the present petitions under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 is for the grant of regular bail in case bearing FIR No.116 dated 26.07.2025 registered under Sections 21(b), 27(a), 61, 85 of NDPS and offence under Section 29 of NDPS Act, 1985 added later on at Police Station Sultanwind, District Police Commissionerate, Amritsar. 2.

As per the prosecution case, Jaswinder Singh @ Sunny was apprehended with 5.31 grams of heroin along with Rs.600 of drug money. On

CRM-M-63782-2025 & another connected case -2his disclosure statement, Sandeep Singh @ Gyani was nominated as an accused. He was apprehended and the recovery of 9.04 grams of heroin along with Rs.500 of drug money was effected from him. 3.

The learned counsels for the petitioners contend that non-commercial quantity of contraband has been recovered from the petitioners. As the petitioner-Jaswinder Singh @ Sunny has undergone 07 months and 07 days and petitioner-Sandeep Singh @ Gyani has undergone 06 months and 23 days of custody having been granted the concession of interim bail by this Court vide order dated 16.02.2026, they are entitled to the concession of regular bail.

4.

On the other hand, the learned State counsel admits that the recovery effected from the petitioners is of non-commercial quantity of contraband, that they have been granted the concession of interim bail by this Court vide order dated 16.02.2026 and that the petitioner-Jaswinder Singh @ Sunny has undergone 07 months and 07 days and petitioner-Sandeep Singh @ Gyani has undergone 06 months and 23 days of custody. 5.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 6.

Admittedly, taking the prosecution case to be correct, noncommercial quantity of contraband has been recovered from the petitioners. Petitioner-Jaswinder Singh @ Sunny is handicapped to the extent of 100% as he is suffers from locomotor disability. They were both granted the concession of interim bail by this Court vide order dated 16.02.2026. As such, petitioner-Jaswinder Singh @ Sunny has undergone actual

CRM-M-63782-2025 & another connected case -3imprisonment of 07 months and 07 days and petitioner-Sandeep Singh @ Gyani has undergone actual imprisonment of 06 months and 23 days. Therefore, in this situation, the further incarceration of the petitioners is not required.

7.

Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petitions are allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing fresh bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned.

8.

The petitioners (or anyone on their behalf) shall prepare an FDR in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each and deposit the same with the Trial Court. The same would be liable to be forfeited as per law in case of the absence of the petitioners from trial without sufficient cause. 9.

The petitions stand disposed of.
