The Bombay High Court on Saturday rejected the pleas filed by businessman Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe, challenging their arrest and subsequent remand orders passed by the metropolitan magistrate's court in a case of alleged production and streaming of pornographic content on apps.

Kundra and Thorpe were arrested last month and remanded initially to police custody, and subsequently to judicial custody. Justice A S Gadkari of the high court, who was presiding over their pleas, had reserved the verdict on the same on August 2.
