Summary:
Mumbai, Oct 26 (PTI) Unprecedented crowding in the courtroom of Justice N W Sambre ahead of hearing on Aryan Khan"s bail plea in the Bombay High Court on Tuesday prompted the judge to leave the dais for a few minutes.
The small courtroom on the first floor of the HC building was chock-full of lawyers and reporters before the afternoon session started.
The court was to hear the bail application of Aryan, actor Shah Rukh Khan"s son who was arrested in an alleged drug seizure case on October 3, listed at serial number 57.
Looking at the swelling crowd, Justice Sambre told his staff to ask the lawyers who did not have any matter listed immediately in his court to leave.
"COVID-19 safety protocols are not being followed in this crowd.
We need to follow the SOP (standard operating procedure)," the judge said.
