New Delhi: Nupur Talwar, accused of murdering her 13-year-old daughter Aarushi, has been ordered by the Supreme Court to appear in the Ghaziabad court where her trial is to begin.
Mrs Talwar had asked the Supreme Court to suspend a non-bailable warrant issued against her by that Ghaziabad court. The Supreme Court refused to do that, but said that when Mrs Talwar applies for bail, her request will be promptly considered. That means that Mrs Talwar may spend a day or two in jail till her bail is decided. Her husband, Rajesh, has also been accused of murder and destruction of evidence.
The Supreme Court is also hearing another petition by the Talwars that asks for their trial in Ghaziabad to be cancelled.
The warrant against Mrs Talwar was issued earlier this month because she refused to attend a hearing at the Ghaziabad court. The judge made it clear that the warrant was based only on Mrs Talwar's absence.
The CBI then tried to locate her, but failed to do so. Mrs Talwar, meanwhile, took her case to the Supreme Court.
13-year-old Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom in the Talwar's apartment in Noida in May 2008. Her parents discovered her body. A few hours later, the corpse of their domestic hep, Hemraj, was found on their roof.
Rajesh Talwar was arrested a week later by the Noida Police but he was released when the CBI took over the case and said that it did not have evidence against him.
In December 2010, the CBI told the Ghaziabad court handling the case that it wanted to file a closure report- a formal declaration that the case would remain unsolved. But the judge refused to grant that permission and said that Aarushi's parents should be tried for her murder.
