Therefore, it cannot be said that Khan is not likely to commit similar offence while on bail," Judge VV Patil said in his order.
The court also said that the material placed on record points to a "nexus" between Aryan Khan and suppliers and peddlers.
The court said that though no drugs were found on Aryan Khan, he knew about six grams of charas hidden in his friend Arbaaz Merchant`s shoe, and this amounted to "conscious possession".

They travelled together and they were apprehended together at the international cruise terminal.
