India, May 28 -- Giribala Singh, retired judge and accused in the death case of her daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma, lost her anticipatory bail in a late-night hearing by the Madhya Pradesh high court on Wednesday, during which the HC cited non-cooperation in its order while the victim's side highlighted character assassination in its argument.

In the hearing of the single bench, Justice Devanarayan Mishra observed consistent allegations, non-cooperation, heinous nature of offence, and trial court's failure to consider evidence as main points to cancel the bail order given by Bhopal district court on May 15, according to an earlier HT report.
