Aarushi case:  Talwars' acquittal challenged in SC

New Delhi :The CBI and Khumkala Banjade, the widow of Hemraj who was found dead on the terrace of the house of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in 2008 have filed appeal  against the acquittal of the Talwars by the Allahabad High Court in the double murders of their teenage daughter Aarushi and Hemraj, who was the family’s domestic help.

A bench comprising justices Ranjan Gogoi and R Banumathi granted permission to file the special leave petitions and summoned the original case records from the trial court.

CBI  says the Allahabad HC had erred on many counts while acquitting couple.

The High Court had cleared the Talwars of any guilt or involvement in the crimes in a judgment delivered in October last year saying they cannot be convicted on the basis of evidence on record.

The court also set aside the life sentence awarded to the couple in November 2013 by the CBI court at Ghaziabad. Ms. Banjade had filed an appeal in December last year against the Talwars’ acquittal in the case. The CBI filed its appeal early in March this year.

The Talwars had already served four years of their life sentence in Ghaziabad’s Dasna jail.

Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit in her room in May 2008.

The needle of suspicion was initially trained on the 45-year-old Hemraj, who had gone missing, before his body was found on the terrace of the house.

On February 9, retired special CBI judge Shyam Lal, who convicted Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Tawar in the case in 2013, had also moved the apex against the high court judgement seeking expunction of certain observations.

He had said that the criticism against him in the Allahabad High Court verdict was "disparaging" and "unwarranted".
