New Delhi: In a big relief to Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan, the Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to all the three accused in the cruise party drugs case. Star son Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were given bail in connection with the alleged drugs case. 

The detailed order is likely to be released tomorrow. The bail was granted after Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi for Aryan Khan and ASG Anil Singh for the Narcotics Control Bureau presented their arguments in court. 

"All three pleas are allowed. I will pass detailed orders by tomorrow evening," Justice N W Sambre said.

Aryan Khan's advocates then sought permission to submit cash bail to which the court refused and said surety is to be given. "I could have given the order also tomorrow. But I gave it today," Justice Sambre said. The legal team of the 23-year-old Aryan Khan, who is presently in judicial custody and lodged at the Arthur Road prison in central Mumbai, will now try to complete the formalities for his release by Friday asper PTI report.
