A bench of justices A K Patnaik and J S Khehar directed Nupur Talwar to surrender on Monday before the trial court, which was asked to consider her bail plea expeditiously.
"We are not inclined to stay the operation of the order of NBW issued by the Special Judge, Ghaziabad. But we direct that petitioner (Nupur Talwar) will appear on Monday and move her bail.
"In case application for bail is moved, the same shall be considered expeditiously," the bench said.
Senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi pleaded to the apex court to grant her bail or consider her bail plea immediately as she apprehended arrest after surrendering before the trial court.
The bench, however, was not impressed with the argument and said the petitioner ought to follow the formalities.
The bench pointed out that even her husband was granted bail by the trial court.
"If you don't get it (bail), you can approach the higher forums," the bench remarked.
