Arushi case : SC reserves its order on Nupur Talwar's plea

The Supreme Court has reserved its order on dentist Nupur Talwar's plea seeking a review of its order of allowing her criminal prosecution in the twin murder case of her daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj. A bench of justices AK Patnaik and JS Khehar on Wednesday reserved the order after hearing extensively the contentions of Nupur and the CBI. In a last-ditch effort to convince the apex court to review its order, the dentist pleaded she is not asking for a clean chit in the murder case but wants a direction to the CBI to reinvestigate the case.

Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit at her Noida residence on the intervening night of May 15 and 16, 2008, while Hemraj's body was recovered from the terrace of the house the next day. Aarushi's mother is now in in judicial custody while her father Rajesh Talwar is out on bail. The case for their trial in the twin murder case is pending at a Ghaziabad sessions court.

Meanwhile, a special CBI court in Ghaziabad on Wednesday fixed May 21 for beginning of arguments on framing of charges against dentist couple in the case.
