Supreme Court grants bail to Nupur Talwar in Aarushi murder case | | The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Nupur Talwar, one of the co-accused in
May 2008 Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case. The apex court granted bail to Talwar
as key witnesses have already been interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigations
(CBI). A bench of Justice A.K. Patnaik and Justice J.S. Khehar ruled that Talwar
be released in a week’s time- by September 25- and asked the CBI to examine missing
witnesses by then. Nupur, co-accused in the sensational 2008-murders along with
her dentist husband Rajesh Talwar, has been lodged in Ghaziabad 's Dasna jail
since April 30. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), during the last hearing
had argued that she could influence the witnesses, if granted bail. The Court
had accepted the CBI plea and the bench of Justice A.K. Patnaik and Justice J.S.
Khehar told senior counsel Sidharth Luthra, appearing for the CBI, to complete
the examination of 13 prosecution witnesses before September 17. Appearing for
Nupur Talwar, senior counsel K.V. Vishwanathan had told the court that the entire
case was based on circumstantial evidence. Vishwanathan had pleaded that Nupur
Talwar be released on bail, and to address CBI’s concerns, the apex court could
impose any conditions. He said that for the same offence, Nupur Talwar's husband
Rajesh Talwar was out on bail. A CBI trial court in Ghaziabad has charged the
Talwars under sections 302/34 (murder with common intention) and 201 (destruction
of evidence with common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). In addition
to these, the court charged Rajesh Talwar under section 203 (giving false information
in respect of an offence committed) of the IPC.
