The special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court in Mumbai will on Wednesday pass its order on the bail plea of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the Mumbai cruise drugs case recently.

During a hearing on October 14, the court of Additional Session Judge VV Patil reserved its order on Aryan Khan's bail plea. The court scheduled the pronouncement of the order on October 20 due to Dussehra festival and the weekend.
