Aryan Khan Remand/Bail Hearing In Cruise Ship Drug Case- Live Updates From Mumbai Court

Maneshinde - The High Court says that if they have picked up the supplier, that can't be used to decide my remand.

According to them, I'm in the position of purchase. But nothing is recovered from me.

. 

Maneshinde - I didn't interrupt my learned friend.

One of the grounds is that there is the seizure of total commercial quantity in the entire case. But that can't be used against me.

Maneshinde - If your honour comes to the conclusion that my custody is required, then that is different.

Cites a judgement.

ASG Singh - First my custody application will have to be decided, then the question of bail will arise.

Maneshinde - Even if the offences are non-bailable as argued, based on Rhea's case, I am entitled to bail.

There, Section 27A was invoked, for financing.

If material is seized from other accused, that cannot be foisted on me. 

Maneshinde - In the last one year, I've gone to my university. In the entire period, I have not indulged in any drug trafficking.

Maneshinde- Yesterday, they asked for two days.

Now they say that when I was abroad, I have certain conversations in the phone and they want to bust an international drug trafficking racket.

Court - How much from the friend?

NCB- Six grams of Charas.

Maneshinde- This is a small quantity. None of the other drugs was seized from us.

The main seizure is from..the other accused. I am not connected to others.

Maneshinde - My bag was searched but nothing was found. After some time, they took custody of my phone and began interrogating me. Mr Merchant is a friend of mine. He was found in possession and we were arrested. 

Maneshinde- I landed there with a friend of mine on an invite from the organisers. I got to know the best suit is allotted to me. I have not paid anything for this party.

Adv Satish Maneshinde - I fully endorse that the drug menace has to end. But let us go by the facts of the case.
