The Court had accepted the CBI plea and the bench comprising Justice AK Patnaik and Justice JS Khehar told senior counsel Sidharth Luthra, appearing for the CBI, to complete the examination of 13 prosecution witnesses before September 17.

Appearing for Nupur Talwar, senior counsel KV Vishwanathan had told the court that the entire case was based on circumstantial evidence.

Vishwanathan had pleaded that Nupur be released on bail and to address CBI's concerns, the apex court could impose any conditions.

He said that for the same offence, Nupur Talwar's husband Rajesh Talwar was out on bail.

Nupur and Rajesh Talwar are accused in the twin murders. The duo has also been charged with destruction of evidence.

A CBI trial court in Ghaziabad has charged Talwars under sections 302/34 (murder with common intention) and 201 (destruction of evidence with common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

In addition to these, the court charged Rajesh Talwar under section 203 (giving false information in respect of an offence committed) of the IPC.
