Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha Bail Hearing In Cruise Ship Drug Case-LIVE UPDATES
Counsel AM Chimalkar - 7 days is a reasonable time we take in all cases. Whatever my friend has said right now is a rosy picture..but we will show why his (Aryan Khan) custody is necessary.
Desai- This boy is in custody for the last 7 days, now they want 7 more days.
I am asking for the bail application to be heard in the afternoon, maximum tomorrow.
It won't take much time, as far as I am concerned. Why should my liberty be kept so far as I am concerned?
Desai - The bail application was only rejected for lack of jurisdiction.
This application is for bail of a man where admittedly the punishment is maximum only one year.
Desai - It is an admitted fact that this person is not found in possession.
I am not arguing for bail, I am only arguing for a date.
Considering the peculiar facts of this case..he is probably the only person without recovery or any other material.
Desai - It is true the NCB is doing a lot of investigation.
From last Saturday till now, my client (Aryan Khan) is in their custody. His statement was recorded only once on Sunday.
Counsel AM Chimalkar for NCB seeks one week for filing the replies; 3-4 bail applications have been filed.
Maneshinde - I have served the NCB electronically and physically on Friday.
Adv Satish Maneshinde - There are three applications for bail. Only one application is on record. Mr Desai is leading us in the matter.
A Magistrate court had rejected Khan and his co-accused - Arbaaz Merchant's and Munmun Dhamecha's - bail applications on Friday. The court held the pleas were not maintainable.
Special Public Prosecutor for NCB Advait Sethna arrives.
