The court, later in the day, allowed his application.
Manoj Vaish on Saturday took charge as Managing Director and CEO of the country's leading commodity exchange MCX that is under the regulatory glare following troubles at the promoter group.
The sessions court on Thursday extended the police custody of the Financial Technologies and Multi Commodities Exchange (MCX) promoter Jignesh Shah and former managing director and chief executive of the commodity exchange Shreekant Javalgekar till May 19.
Shah and Javalgekar were arrested on May 7.
MCX said it has no exposure to crisis-hit NSEL, which has to settle dues worth Rs 5,600 crore to investors after it suspended trading.
Two days after Mumbai Police attached his properties, Jignesh Shah, director of the beleaguered National Spot Exchange Ltd, on Thursday told investigators that he was making "relentless" efforts to recover money from defaulters.

In a severe indictment, commodity market regulator FMC has said Jignesh Shah and his firm FTIL are not 'fit and proper' to run any exchange in the country and charged him of being the "highest beneficiary" in the NSEL scam.
In the first arrest in the NSEL's Rs 5,600 crore (Rs 56 billion) payout scam, a top official of the beleaguered spot commodity bourse, which defaulted on its payment for the eighth time in a row yesterday, was held on Wednesday by Mumbai police's Economic Offence Wing (EOW).
