The senior advocate has claimed in court that apart from questioning on day 1 nothing else has happened after Aryan was arrested. Satish Maneshinde has claimed that in the last five days nothing has emerged. Aachit was revealed on first day, they took their own time and Aachit was remanded yesterday, he stated. He further argued in court that Justice Krishna Iyer had said corroboration, confrontation, interrogation can take place in absence of custody of the accused. The lawyer stated that these judgments have been considered time and again that normal tendency of the court is to grant bail if no serious crime and that nothing would emerge as there is nothing.

I am submitting a small chart on the judgments I cited and how they can be differentiated. This is a nutshell on what I spoke for last one hour. Now on facts, I am a 23 yr old with no prior antecedents. I happen to be part of Bollywood so I reached International terminal. When I reached the NCB asked if I had drugs on me, I denied. Despite that they searched me, my bag, my clothes. They perused my phone. They thought they will find something to interrogate me. Apart from questioning on day 1 nothing else has happened after that. In the last 5 days nothing has emerged. Aachit was revealed on first day, they took their own time and Aachit was remanded yesterday. I will be required for confrontation interrogation, that has been rejected by Supreme court. Justice Krishna Iyer said corroboration, confrontation, interrogation can take place in absence of custody of the accused. These judgments have been considered time and again that normal tendency of the court is to grant bail if no serious crime. And nothing would emerge as there is nothing. I am from respectable family, my parents, Siblings are here. I hold Indian passport. I have roots in the society, cannot abscond. There is no question of tampering of evidence or accused. The electronic evidence is taken, the other accused are in custody. With these arguments I am concluding, if ASG raises a point if law, then I will respond.

Maneshinde: So he will cite Rhea and I will cite Stephen.I did not ask for bail as a matter of right. I let go off that on the first day. I did not ask for bail on first day. I thought they will take a linear view considering that there is no material against me.

Maneshinde - I am not claiming bail as a matter or right. I didn't claim it on the first day because I thought NCB officers would take a lenient view. I submitted myself to their custody. But there is no material (against me), even in messages. They have my (Aryan's) WhatsApp messages which your honour has disregarded for judicial custody

I am an accused for consumption (of drugs). I respect that they made statement that they found nothing with me. Your honour did not find reasons for NCB custody hence judicial custody was given.
