A single-judge Bench of Justice Arvind Kumar Tripathi turned down the application of Nupur who had moved the High Court after her plea for bail was rejected by a special CBI court at Ghaziabad earlier this month.

Nupur's counsel Amit Srivastava said they may move the Supreme Court against the High Court order.

According to CBI counsel Anurag Khanna, the court rejected Nupur's submission that she should be released on bail as done in the case of her husband Rajesh, both dentists. The couple are facing trial in the twin murder case.

"We had strongly opposed this submission and pointed out that Rajesh Talwar has been granted an interim bail and not a regular bail," he said.

"In fact, a petition filed by us (CBI) is pending before the High Court whereby we have sought cancellation of his interim bail as the same was extended by the trial court after its expiry," he added.

Extensions are granted only in case of regular bail and not in case of interim bail. "So, technically, he now has to obtain a regular bail in order to be out of custody", Khanna said.

14-year-old Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom at the Talwar's residence at Jalvayu Vihar, Noida, on the intervening night of May 16-17, 2008. The body of Hemraj was found on May 17 on the terrace. MORE
