After Nupur's bail rejected, Rajesh Talwar may also go to jail

With the Ghazibad Sessions Court refusing to grant bail to Nupur Talwar, her husband and co-accused in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case, Rajesh, is now in danger of being sent to jail himself. The Allahabad High Court is scheduled to hear a a petition by the CBI seeking cancellation of his bail on Monday.

The CBI had told the court that the agency wanted the bail to be cancelled as it was conditional and so Dr Rajesh Talwar should be arrested and he should seek fresh bail. They later filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court in the first week of April, challenging the sessions court decision. Interestingly Nupur Talwar’s legal team sought bail for her on the grounds of parity. They argued that since Rajesh Talwar – who is a co-accused in the case – is on bail, Nupur should be granted the same privilege. The Ghaziabad sessions court today refused to grant bail to Nupur Talwar. She has been lodged in the Dasna jail for two days awaiting the bail order, where she was also reportedly on a fast. Nupur Talwar was taken into judicial custody on Monday when she surrendered before the CBI Special Court as per a Supreme Court directive, that also refused to cancel a non bailable warrant issued against her by the same court. She applied for bail immediately, but the request was denied on the basis that the CBI special court had no jurisdiction to grant bail. Following the refusal, her lawyers filed a petition before the sessions court which reserved its order until today. With her bail plea rejected, it is likely that Talwar’s lawyers will possibly move the Allahabad High Court. However, this would mean that she might have to spend the next eleven days in jail, as the Allahabad HC hears bail pleas only ten days after the initial date of filing. However Nupur Talwar’s lawyer Avinash Kumar told Firstpost that they are considering their next course of action, and as of now they have not yet moved the Allahabad High Court for bail.
