A bench of justices A K Patnaik and J S Khehar, deferred the hearing after the CBI submitted that it would conclude examining of 13 crucial witnesses by mid September.
Pleading for bail, the dentist's lawyer C S Vishwanathan assured the court that Nupur would not try to influence the witnesses and court can put any condition for granting her bail.
But the agency strongly opposed the bail plea saying that she might try to influence key witnesses during her trial and she should not be released during the examination of 13 crucial witnesses which is going on in lower court.
Additional Solicitor General Siddharth Luthra, appearing for CBI, assured the court that the agency would confine its examination to 13 crucial witnesses and not all the 140 witnesses.
It said that the examination of the witnesses would be finished by mid september and also said that the trial in the case would be concluded by the end of this year.
The court, after hearing both sides, adjourned the hearing and listed the case for September 17.
Nupur, who has been in jail since her surrender before the Ghaziabad court on April 30, had moved the apex court challenging the Allahabad High Court's order which had on May 31 dismissed her plea for bail. MORE
