Drugs case: Mumbai court allows Aryan Khan's plea seeking return of passport
India Today
A Mumbai court has allowed Aryan Khan's plea seeking the return of his passport after NCB stated that it had no objection to the plea.
A special court in Mumbai on Wednesday allowed the plea of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who has got a clean chit from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drugs case, seeking the return of his passport.
Aryan Khan had submitted his passport before the court as part of his bail conditions. He was arrested in October last year in a drugs case.
However, in its chargesheet filed in May, the probe agency did not name him as an accused. The NCB let off Aryan Khan and five others due to "lack of sufficient evidence".

Earlier in the day, NCB stated that it has no objection to the cancellation of the bail bond and return of the passport but raised an issue about “discharge” written in the order.
Special Public Prosecutor Advait Sethna appearing for NCB argued, “Whatever we had to say we have said in the reply in the most fair and transparent way. But in their own application there is no prayer for discharge and this is not even a discharge application.”
The special court judge, VV Patil, then allowed Aryan's plea to take his passport back.
