The CBI is likely to oppose granting of bail to Dr Rajesh Talwar in the sensational Aarushi-Hemraj murder case by the trial court in its next hearing scheduled for February 4.
Sources in the agency said, “The CBI will wait till February 4 when the dentist couple appear before the Ghaziabad trial court. If the court asks agency to give its opinion on bail, then the CBI may oppose it.”
Giving a breather to Dr Rajesh Talwar, the Supreme Court on Monday directed that he will remain on bail and not be arrested till February 4 when he will appear before a Ghaziabad court to face trial along with his wife, Nupur, in the twin murder case of his daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.
The top court also said that the dentist will not leave the city without informing the local police station and his passport will remain in the custody.
After investigating the gruesome double murder of the 14-year-old daughter of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, the CBI on December 29, 2010 had filed a closure report before a Ghaziabad court citing lack of evidence against the suspects.
Special CBI judge Preeti Singh had taken note of closure report and case dairy of CBI.

French n-regulator clears Jaitapur
AGE CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, JAN. 9
Top honchos of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) on Monday admitted that a safety review by the French nuclear regulator had made no comments on having additional systems for the EPR reactors proposed for the Jaitapur nuclear project.
This will allow for restarting negotiations on the delayed venture.
“A quick read of the ASN report shows that there are no clear comments on any system that has to be added to the EPR French reactors made by Areva,” said S.A. Bhardwaj, director (Technical), Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL).
He said a detailed review of the report of the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) would take a week and the NPCIL would like to restart negotiations by the end of January.
The talks on signing a commercial agreement between NPCIL and French company Areva had been stalled after the Fukushima nuclear accident.
