Broadly speaking, as per prosecution on 15.11.2025 at about 06:55 PM, the applicant was apprehended from Sanjay Camp, Chanakyapuri on suspicion. Upon her cursory personal search, a transparent polythene packet containing 20 grams of light pink powder was recovered, which, after testing was confirmed to be ‘diacetylmorphine’/ Heroin alongwith other narcotic constituents. The applicant was thereafter arrested on 16.11.2025. This is a digitally signed order.

In these facts, this Court has heard learned counsel for the applicant as also learned APP and gone through the materials on record, including the Status Report handed over by the learned APP, which is also taken on record. 4. As borne out from the facts herein, since only an intermediate quantity of 20 grams of Heroin, which is below the notified commercial quantity of 250 grams thereof has been recovered from the applicant, the rigours of Section 37 of the NDPS Act are not applicable. Further, the applicant herein has been facing incarceration since 16.11.2025, and as per the Nominal Roll, her overall conduct inside jail has been ‘Satisfactory’. Moreover, though the Charge Sheet has been filed, and the charges have also been framed, the evidence is yet to commence before the learned Trial Court. In addition thereto, as per learned counsel for applicant, applicant is the sole care taker of her 13-year-old child and the applicant is also suffering from tuberculosis. 5. Lastly, though learned APP contends that the applicant is involved in two more FIRs, registered under the Delhi Excise Act, however, taking a holistic view of the surrounding circumstances, including all the above factors, as also since the applicant has already been granted bail therein, the applicant is able to make out a case for grant of regular bail. 6. Accordingly, the present application is allowed and the applicant be released on regular bail in FIR No.132/2025 dated 15.11.2025 registered at PS: Chanakyapuri under Section 21 of the NDPS Act, subject to her furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) along with one surety of the like amount by a family member/ friend having no criminal case pending against him/ her and This is a digitally signed order.
