Bollywood
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
son
Aryan,
who
got
a
clean
chit
from
the
NCB
in
the
last
year's
drugs-on-cruise
case,
on
Thursday
moved
a
plea
before
a
special
NDPS
court,
seeking
return
of
his
passport.
The
court
directed
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
to
file
a
reply
and
posted
the
matter
for
hearing
on
July
13.
Aryan
Khan
was
arrested
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
in
early
October
last
year
in
the
high-profile
drugs
case,
but
the
probe
agency
didn't
name
him
as
an
accused
in
a
charge-sheet
filed
in
May.
The
NCB
let
off
Aryan
Khan
and
five
others
due
to
"lack
of
sufficient
evidence."
As
per
a
report
in
Bar
and
Bench,
Khan's
application
stated,
"The
above
facts
clearly
depict
that
the
the
applicant
has
been
exonerated
from
the
present
matter
and
that
he
is
no
longer
an
accused
in
the
present
case.
It
would
be
in
the
interest
of
justice
and
it
would
be
just
and
proper
for
the
bail
bond
to
be
cancelled
and
the
passport
be
returned
to
him
and
further
discharge
the
personal
bond."
Aryan
Khan
had
submitted
his
passport
in
the
court
as
per
his
bail
conditions.
On
Thursday,
he
moved
an
application
in
the
special
court,
through
his
lawyers
Amit
Desai
and
Rahul
Agarwal
of
Desai
Desai
Carrimjee
and
Mulla,
seeking
the
return
of
his
passport,
citing
the
charge-sheet
that
does
not
name
him.
The
24-year-old
was
arrested
by
the
NCB
on
October
3
last
year,
following
a
raid
on
a
Goa-bound
cruise
ship
off
the
coast
of
Mumbai.
Aryan
Khan
spent
over
20
days
in
prison
before
he
was
granted
bail
by
the
Bombay
High
Court.
