A Mumbai Sessions Court on Thursday said it will hear bail applications of businessman and actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe on August 10. The court also issued to Mumbai Police and asked for its reply on the bail plea.

Both Kundra and Thorpe have challenged the magistrate court's order that rejected their bail applications. Currently, both are in judicial custody in the pornography case. Earlier, their bail applications were rejected by Esplanade magistrate court, stating that the release of the accused will 'hamper the investigation' and the alleged offence is 'detrimental to the health of the society.
