Mumbai drugs case: Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan moves Bombay HC seeking modification in bail conditions
The Bench had set out 13 conditions to be fulfilled by the three accused in the bail order. One of the conditions was to attend office of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Mumbai every Friday between 11 am and 2 pm to mark his presence.
FollowBollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, who was arrested in connection with the seizure of banned drugs on board a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast, and granted bail on October 28, moved the Bombay High Court seeking modification of the bail conditions granted by Justice Nitin Sambre. Aryan Khan's bail application along with co-accused Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were allowed by the High Court on October 28, 2021.
The Bench had set out 13 conditions to be fulfilled by the three accused in the bail order. One of the conditions was to attend the office of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Mumbai every Friday between 11 am and 2 pm to mark his presence. He was also asked not to leave Mumbai without informing the agency and not to leave India without permission from the special NDPS court.
Aryan's application filed through law firm Desai Desai Carrimjee and Mulla sought waiver of the condition that he shall appear before the Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) south Mumbai office every Friday to mark presence.
The application also said that whenever he reaches the NCB office, he has to be accompanied by police personnel due to the large number of mediapersons waiting outside. Khan, in fact also made grounds taken since the SIT investigating the case constitutes of officials from the Delhi office of NCB so he should not be made to go to NCB office in Mumbai.
Khan has been marking his attendance at the NCB office every Friday. Even today on October 10, two days after his plea seeking modification of bail was filed, he attended the NCB office.
Khan's plea will be heard by the Bombay High Court next week, his lawyers said.
