Earlier, she had alleged her daughter's death could be a case of murder. She also accused Khan and his family of trying to force her daughter to change her religion.
Seeking relief for Khan, Khan's counsels Shailendra Mishra and Sharad Rai told the court the 28-year-old actor has already been in jail for 14 days.
After hearing both sides, the court kept the hearing on January 9.
Tunisha (21), who acted in the show 'Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul', was found hanging in the washroom on the set of the serial near Vasai in Palghar district on December 24. Khan was arrested the next for alleged abetment. He is currently lodged in a Thane jail.
