New Delhi:
The CBI has said that they killed their daughter; today, the Supreme Court stayed the proceedings against Nupur and Rajesh Talwar.
"Where from the CBI has become active? Pages after pages you have filed in the trial court submitting that there is nothing against them. Now how could you assume that there is evidence against them?" the court asked.
The latest developments mean that warrants issued against the Talwars - who are both dentists - by a Ghaziabad court cannot be executed. It also means they do not have to appear in the Ghaziabad court that has accused them of murder.
The Supreme Court will hear the Talwars' case next on July 12. They have challenged the summons issued to them by the Ghaziabad court that's conducting the trial of the double-murder in their Noida home in May 2008.
The Talwars were home when 13-year-old Aarushi was killed in her bedroom. The next day, the Talwar's domestic help, Hemraj, was found dead on their terrace. The Noida police, which initially handled the case, arrested Rajesh Talwar but released him a few months later after admitting it did not have any evidence against him.
The case was handed over to the CBI which in December asked for permission to close the case because it had not found enough evidence against any person. It listed, however, that Rajesh Talwar was its only suspect. The Ghaziabad court, however, rejected the CBI's appeal to end its investigation and declared the Talwars were officially accused of Aarushi's murder.
The Talwars have repeatedly pointed out that it's unfair on the CBI's part to keep suggesting that they are guilty while at the same time stressing its lack of evidence to prove this.
