Special Judge Prashant Sharma accepted the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) plea seeking custodial interrogation of Dar.
At around 2.30 pm, the accused was produced in the Patiala House District Court amid heavy security.
Media persons were barred from covering the proceedings.
Earlier in the day, the NIA had arrested Dar, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir and a close aide of alleged suicide bomber Omar-un-Nabi.
The NIA said Dar allegedly played an active role in the conspiracy behind the blast, which claimed 15 lives and injured several others on November 10.
The agency said Dar, an active participant in the conspiracy, had allegedly taken an oath to carry out self-sacrificing missions.
It added that Dar was in close contact with other accused persons in the case, including Umar-un-Nabi and Mufti Irfan.
The NIA has already arrested eight doctors, including four doctors – Dr Muzammil Ghani, Dr Adil Rather, Dr Shaheen Saeed and Dr Bilal Nasir Mala – and religious preacher Maulvi Irfan.

Two others, Amir Rashid Ali and Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, have also been arrested.
Ali had reportedly purchased the car in his name, which was later filled with explosives, including ammonium nitrate, and blasted near the Red Fort.
On November 26, the agency had also arrested Soyeb, a resident of Dhauj, Faridabad, on charges of providing logistics support to Omar-un-Nabi before the blast.
Omar-un-Nabi was driving the explosives-laden i20 car which exploded outside the Red Fort on November 10.
