Dear Pushpa Methekar,

You can use which.max(), as in

> library(car)
> mod <- lm(prestige~ income + education, data=Duncan)
> which.max(abs(rstudent(mod)))
minister 
       6 

In fact, this is exactly what outlierTest() does, as you can see by looking at 
car:::outlierTest.lm

Beyond that, I'd encourage you to look more carefully at potential outliers, 
including at the distribution of the studentized residuals, rather than 
adopting a simple mechanical rule for removing outliers.

I hope this helps,
 John
