Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, appearing for the NCB, however, sought time till next week. Justice Sambre then posted the plea for hearing for October 26.
Aryan Khan (23) moved the High Court on Wednesday evening after a special NDPS court here rejected his bail plea in the afternoon. The special court, while refusing bail, had observed that Aryan was involved in "illicit drug activities on a regular basis" and had a nexus with drug peddlers and suppliers.
The lower court had also rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan's friend Arbaaz Merchant and fashion model Munmun Dhamecha.
They are now in judicial custody. While Aryan and Merchant are lodged at the Arthur Road prison, Dhamecha is lodged at the Byculla women's prison in the city.
The trio and others were held in the case for alleged conspiracy, possession, consumption, purchase and trafficking of drugs under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
