The proceedings, that began around 1:30pm (local time), had lasted barely 15 minutes, during which the Public Prosecutor P N Shrivastava sought seven days' police custody of the accused, when some lawyers who have been agitating for reservation benefits for Gujjars entered the courtroom and started shouting slogans.
"The proceedings were postponed for an hour following the disruption," Shrivastava said.
The bail plea was earlier scheduled to be taken on Monday, but it had to be postponed till Tuesday due to a strike called by the lawyers in support of the Gujjars' agitation.
Lawyers representing Talwar, a dentist, had filed the application saying that he be released on bail since he was innocent and also suffering from asthma.
IG (Meerut Zone) Gurdarshan Singh had said that Rajesh Talwar wanted to kill his daughter Aarushi and had hence eliminated would-be witness Hemraj.
