On last Tuesday, the Bombay High Court had reserved its orders on the bail applications filed by Rhea, Showik, Sushant’s employees Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant and drug peddler Abdul Basit Parihar.
Rhea and Showik have been in jail for nearly a month on drugs-related charges linked to the Sushant death case investigation.
Rhea was arrested by the NCB on September 9 in a drugs case linked to her boyfriend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
The NCB had told the court that she was an "active member" of a drugs syndicate and procured drugs for Rajput, her boyfriend.
Rhea has been charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for her alleged role in the drugs angle that has emerged during an investigation into the June 14 death of Sushant.
The NCB registered a case on request by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after alleged chats showed Rhea, her brother Showik Chakraborty and Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda had ordered the drugs.
Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court heard the petition of filed by Sushant’s sisters, seeking quashing of the FIR filed against them by Rhea under sections of the NDPS Act.
The matter has been adjourned to October 13 after Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde sought time to file a reply on the plea.
