Ghaziabad, May 1 (IANS): A special court hearing the bail plea of jailed dentist Nupur Talwar, the mother of murdered teenager Aarushi, Tuesday reserved its order after hearing arguments from her lawyers and those of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Nupur Talwar, who spent Monday night at the Dasna Jail, was not in court as her lawyers argued that she be given bail. Her husband, Rajesh Talwar, who is already out on bail, was not in court either as Special CBI Judge S. Lal heard the bail application.

The judge's order is expected Tuesday afternoon.

Nupur Talwar's lawyers argued that there was no scientific evidence against her in the twin murders of her 14-year-old daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj on May 16, 2008, at their Noida residence. While Aarushi's body, with her throat slit, was discovered first, the body of Hemraj was found later from the terrace of the house.

If the main gate was bolted from outside, they said, how could the CBI justify its stance ruling out involvement of an outsider. The third point put forward was that Nupur Talwar was the mother of a child and she had bought her a camera just a day earlier.

The CBI argued that the Talwars had tampered with evidence.
