Samville D'Souza's name had cropped up in connection with allegations of pay-off in the drugs case in which Aryan Khan, actor Shah Rukh Khan's son, was arrested.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday rejected an application seeking pre-arrest bail filed by Samville D'Souza, whose name had cropped up in connection with allegations of pay-off in the case of drug seizure in which Aryan Khan, actor Shah Rukh Khan's son, was arrested.
A vacation bench of Justice S P Tavade heard D'Souza's plea on late Wednesday night. Rejecting it, the judge noted that the applicant should have first approached the sessions court.
Mr D'Souza claimed in the plea that Kiran Gosavi, a witness of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the case, had taken Rs 50 lakh from Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani to get Aryan released.
The amount was returned after the NCB arrested the 23-year-old in the case on October 3, the application said.
