Coming down harshly on Nupur Talwar,a Ghaziabad sessions court today rejected her bail plea and sent her to judicial custody for 14 days. The Special CBI Court is expected to commit the case for start of prosecution proceedings tomorrow. The accused has tried her best to avoid appearing in court to scuttle the fair and smooth progress of the case and even circumvented the order of the Supreme Court. Therefore her conduct has been such that she cant be released. If she is given bail,she may flee from justice and create hindrance in speedy disposal of the case, Additional Sessions Judge Shyam Lal said,rejecting the bail plea. Nupur will continue to remain in Ghaziabads Dasna jail. Her lawyers are planning to seek relief from the Supreme Court. Calling the offence serious and likely to invite severe punishment said,the judge added: She (Nupur) is accused of killing her own progeny who was in her teens and thereby brought a blot on escutcheon (dishonour to reputation),apart from killing domestic help Hemraj,who had come down from Nepal to eke out a livelihood. She is also accused of obliterating the evidence.. Rejecting the argument by the Talwars counsel that a mother couldnt kill her own child,the Additional Sessions Judge said: Legal history is replete with instances of matricide,fratricide and patricide. Everything is possible in these days of the modern era wherein moral values are fast declining and one can stoop to the lowest extent. The court also rejected the argument that Nupur must be treated on a par with husband Rajesh,who is out on bail. Judge Lal pointed out that Rajesh had been released from custody following the filing of the closure report by the CBI in the case,and that Nupur couldnt claim parity.
