Supreme Court asks CBI to file reply in Aarushi case
April 15th, 2011 - 3:12 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Apr 15 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a reply in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case.
The investigating agency is expected to file its reply into the case on April 25.
In a temporary relief to Dr. Rajesh and Dr. Nupur Talwar, the Supreme Court on March 19, stayed all proceedings against the dentist couple in the trial court in connection with the case.
The apex court, which gave the decision in a rare judgment, had asked the dentist couple to submit their passports to the trial court.
The dentist coupler had moved the apex court seeking stay of criminal proceedings against them in the case after the Allahabad High Court dismissed their petitions against a summon issued by a CBI court.The Allahabad High Court had on March 18 dismissed their plea seeking quashing of the proceedings initiated by the lower court which not only refused the closure report of the CBI, but also summoned them as accused in the case.
A special CBI court in Ghaziabad on February 28 issued bailable warrants against the dentist couple in connection with the murder case.
The court also rejected their plea for exemption from personal appearance before the magistrate.
The court had earlier on February 9, rejected the agency’s closure report in the double murder case and made them accused on charges of murder, destruction of evidence and common intention to commit the crime.
Talwars were charged under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
On February 9, the CBI court had directed the investigating agency to prosecute the Talwars for the murder of 13-year-old Aarushi and Hemraj. They were also accused of criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence.
The CBI court had given its orders following submission of a closure report by the CBI, which named Aarushi’s father Rajesh Talwar as the prime accused, but said he could not be prosecuted due to lack of evidence.
Aarushi (14) was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her parents’ Jalvayu Vihar apartment in Noida on May 16, 2008. The next day, their domestic help, Hemraj’s body was found on the flat’s terrace. (ANI)
