Rahul will be produced in court on Thursday, when his police custody ends.
The court similarly allowed counsel Manoj Taneja to meet his client Sahil Zaroo between 1800 and 1900 IST everyday till June 12, when his police custody comes to an end.
However, it refused to entertain an application filed on Rahul's behalf, apprehending ill treatment by investigating officials and requesting the presence of a doctor and a lawyer throughout his custodial interrogation.
Observing that such permission would defeat the very purpose of police remand, the court said that such presence of was 'neither permissible nor desirable throughout custody'.
During arguments, appearing for the prosecution, counsel B S Joon had opposed the defence application on grounds that any such order would hamper investigations.
Joon also pointed out that Rahul, on his production in court, had at no point suggested that the police mistreated him.
In a related development, the late BJP leader's key aide Harish Sharma and his driver Ganesh, accused of destruction of evidence in the drug abuse case, were granted bail for personal bonds of Rs 50,000 each and surety of like amount.
