Nupur Talwar moves Supreme Court with review plea

New Delhi:  Nupur Talwar, mother of Aarushi Talwar who was killed in 2008 at Noida, has moved the Supreme Court with a plea to review its decision of declining to quash the case against the dentist couple. She wanted the court to hear the review petition in the open court.

The Supreme Court will now hear the review petition in the open court. Normally, review petitions are decided by the judges in their chambers, and not in the open court.

On January 6 this year, the court rejected the Talwars' plea to close the case against them and directed them to stand trial before Ghaziabad special CBI court.

The trial court refused to accept the closure report filed by the CBI in December 2010, and took cognizance of the case.

Now, Mrs Talwar in her review petition wants the Supreme Court to review its January 6 decision and direct CBI for further scientific probe.

In her review petition, Nupur says that the DNA evidence of Hemraj was found in Krishna's house in the bedsheet seized by the police and later given to the CBI. By this, Talwars claim that Krishna came in contact with Hemraj before the murders.
The petition also states that the clothes the Talwars wore on the night of Aarushi's murder, only had her DNA and not Hemraj's.
Stating that none of these findings of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) were considered by any court, Talwars have once again pleaded for DNA mapping.
