Accused Aryan Khan's lawyer Satish Maneshinde today said, "It is natural that if bail application is rejected by a court, we move to the higher court. We've filed the bail application here (Special NDPS court in Mumbai). Hearing is likely to take place today." Meanwhile, a new counsel could be appointed alongside senior advocate Satish Maneshinde in the lead team representing him as per a E-Times report.
