Mumbai: Actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan did not get bail today as the hearing in the drugs case will be continued tomorrow after 2:30 PM. Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh will reply on behalf of the anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) tomorrow. Mr Singh has said he'll take an hour to conclude the arguments.
Today, advocates Amit Desai, Mukul Rohatgi and Ali Kashif Khan Deshmukh argued on behalf of the accused. Mr Desai, appearing for accused Arbaaz Merchant, said the court was misled into believing during the first remand that it's a conspiracy case. He said the arrested persons must be informed of grounds of their arrest.
Mr Deshmukh, representing accused Munmum Dhamecha, said she had no connection with the recoveries made during the searches on the cruise.
Aryan Khan has been in jail since October 8. He was arrested after drug raids on a cruise ship party on October 2 by the NCB.
Aryan Khan has been denied bail twice before. The special anti-drugs court that denied him bail last week said he knew about charas hidden in his friend Arbaaz Merchant's shoe, and this amounted to "conscious possession". Arbaaz Merchant was also arrested along with Aryan and 18 others.

Aryan Khan Case: "No Evidence Of Agreement", Says Advocate
Amit Desai: They say everybody is connected. But there is no evidence of an agreement. These principles have been settled by the Supreme Court. Intention to commit crime, joining hands with another person also to commit a crime and having an agreement to do so is what is conspiracy.

Amit Desai: It is necessary to show a meeting of minds. Three unconnected people coming for the same purpose is not a conspiracy. Concurrence to commit an unlawful act is not conspiracy, there has to be an agreement. This aspect was considered in an NDPS matter in our own High Court.

Aryan Khan Case: Advocate Says, "At Highest, This Is An Intention To Consume"
Amit Desai: They realised that these two boys don't have any cash. They add there is an admission of consumption. But they decided to invoke joint possession in spite of no recovery from Aryan. At the highest this is an intention to consume.
