Looking at his recent victory with the Aryan Khan’s drug-on-cruise case, Mukul Rohatgi came to Mumbai on Monday, October 25, and represented Khan on his Mumbai High court hearing.
The star kid has been granted bail today after spending more than 2 weeks in jail. Commenting on the same, the Senior Adv said that Aryan was kept in jail for 20 days for no reason and with no evidence. He should have been out earlier and is happy that he is out finally!
Before him, Aryan’s case was taken over by big lawyers like Satish Maneshinde, and Amit Desai, and he became the third name on the list of his legal teams. Mukul Rohatgi is also counted as one of the most expensive lawyers in the legal system.
After experienced veterans like Fali Nariman, Harish Salve, K Parkasaran, Abhishek Singhvi, KK Venugopal, Mukul is the highest-paid lawyer.
