Allahabad: The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday rejected a plea by murdered teenager Aarushi Talwar's mother Nupur Talwar for simultaneous hearing of the bail plea by the Ghaziabad trial court. Nupur Talwar wanted the court to hear the bail plea at the same time when the trial in the sensational Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case begins in Ghaziabad trial court.
Nupur's plea was opposed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
While dismissing Nupur's plea the Allahabad High Court observed that the case would be heard expeditiously but it was up to the trial court to decide on the matter.
Justice Balakrishna Narayana gave the direction to the Ghaziabad court on a petition by late Aarushi mother, pleading for a direction to the trial court that her bail plea should be decided "on the same day" it is filed.
The hearing in the four-year-old, twin murder case is scheduled to resume on Wednesday.
The Supreme Court had recently struck down the Noida-based dentist couple's plea for transfer of their trial to a Delhi court from that of Ghaziabad.
While opposing the Talwars' plea to the apex court, the CBI had said there were "hidden motives" behind the plea, which might have been filed as Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code (relating to anticipatory bail) was not applicable in Uttar Pradesh.
