The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday moved the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court order acquitting Rajesh and Nupur Talwar for the twin murder of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.
Earlier in December last year, Hemraj’s wife had approached the top court against the Allahabad High Court verdict of October 12 last year acquitting the couple.
The CBI filed an appeal challenging the high court order acquitting the Talwar couple, CBI's spokesperson said.
The Noida couple was sentenced to life by a Ghaziabad CBI court on November 28, 2013. The High Court in October last year acquitted the couple saying neither the circumstances nor the evidence was enough to hold them guilty in 2008 murder case.
The Allahabad High Court had held that the trial court judge, who had sentenced Rajesh and Nupur Talwar for the murder of Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj, had acted like a "film director" and had "prejudged things" and had "tried to thrust coherence amongst facts inalienably scattered here and there but not giving any coherence to the idea as to what in fact happened" while acquitting the couple in the sensational case, is also a damning indictment of the trial court.
Before the high court's order came, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were serving their life sentences in Ghaziabad's Dasna jail.
The Talwars walked out of prison shortly after the judgment was pronounced almost nine years after the double murder gripped the nation.
14-year-old Aarushi was found dead inside her room in the Talwars' Noida residence with her throat slit in May 2008. The needle of suspicion had initially moved towards 45-year-old Hemraj, who had gone missing but his body was recovered from the terrace of the house two days later.
As the Uttar Pradesh Police drew flak over a shoddy probe into the case which was making national headlines, the case was handed over to the CBI on a recommendation by the then chief minister Mayawati.
