Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has been released on bail a few days back and the 14-page bail ordered by the Bombay High Court is made available now. Bombay HC said that there is nothing objectionable in WhatsApp chats of Aryan Khan suggesting conspiracy. There is no positive evidence of a conspiracy against Aryan Khan.
The court rejected the argument of intention to commit the offense because of possession of commercial quantity. The bail order also read the confessional statements have no binding effect in law, can be considered only for investigation purposes but not to draw an inference.
‘After having gone through the Whats-App chats extracted from Applicant/Accused no. 1’s (Aryan Khan) phone, nothing objectionable could be noticed to suggest that Applicant nos. 1 & 2 (Merchant) or all three applicants along with other Accused persons in the agreement have a meeting of minds and have hatched conspiracy committing the offense in question,’ the order said.
“Having regard to the material brought on record by the Respondent on the issue of conspiracy, this Court prima facie has not noticed any positive evidence against the Applicants on the said issue. This Court is of the opinion that the claim put forth by the Respondent that Applicants should be considered to have the intention to commit an offense under the NDPS Act, having found in possession of commercial quantity, in the backdrop of case of hatching conspiracy is liable to be rejected,” the Court said.
