Relief for Aryan Khan, Bombay High Court allows plea for modification of bail

In a huge relief for Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed a plea for the modification of bail. Aryan was seeking modification and relaxation of some of the bail conditions. This also included weekly attendance at Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai office. Single-judge Justice Nitin Sambre exempted Khan from appearing before Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai office every Friday.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) did not oppose the plea but submitted that the relaxation should be allowed subject to the conditions.

Justice Nitin W Sambre said that Aryan Khan will have to appear before the Special Investigation Team of the NCB in Delhi as and when summoned, provided a 72-hour notice is given by the Central agency. The court added that the applicant will have to inform the investigating officer and also provide an itinerary before going out of Mumbai.
