<p>Today&rsquo;s judgement of the Allahabad High Court acquitting the Talwars remedied, what in my opinion, was an untenable order of conviction in the Aarushi Talwar murder case. Make no mistake, the acquittal by itself doesn&rsquo;t mean that the Talwar&rsquo;s were innocent. Pending the review of the copy of the judgement of acquittal, it is still open to determine whether or not the Talwar&rsquo;s found reprieve on grounds of innocence or as beneficiaries of the benefit of doubt, occasioned by a poorly conceived investigation and prosecution. Either way, they did not deserve to languish in prison, and I think justice is done one way or the other by the Hon&rsquo;ble Allahabad High Court.</p>

<p>That being said, it must be noted that in the case of <em>State v. Kishan Bai</em>, the Supreme Court directed that in cases of acquittal due to lapses in investigation and prosecution, the acquitting court has to identify the source of lapses and direct action to be taken against the erring investigators and prosecutors. Therefore, the Aarushi Talwar case is an excellent opportunity for the judiciary to fix accountability on the investigators and prosecutor(s) who spearheaded the case of the prosecution leading to the conviction which is now set aside. The unfortunate reality in every case of acquittal, especially in cases as heinous as murder or rape, is that the victim and her loved ones have no closure on one hand and on the other hand, the accused is branded a criminal until his/her name is cleared. In itself, the journey preceding the acquittal is a tragedy, for all stakeholders on both sides.</p>

<p>What makes this tragedy particularly bad for the Talwars is that they are both the loved ones without closure as well as the accused who languished in prison on the strength of a conviction order which eventually was set aside. Therefore, by virtue of the said judgement of the Supreme Court, it is time we identified the men and women who were responsible for the poor investigation and prosecution and ensured they are suitably disciplined as per law.</p>

<p>The time spent in prison by the Talwars on the strength of careless investigation and prosecution must be quantified and suitable reparations are called for. And at the very least, such reparations must include identifying the killer in the murder of Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj and bringing him or her or them to justice.</p>

Secondly, the theory that it was an honour killing by parents discovering their daughter in a compromising position with the family help (who was also found dead subsequently), was backed up by a medical examiner whose basis was that the penis of the said family help was enlarged. When pointed out that the enlargement of the genital organs could occur as a result of putrefaction, the doctor justified his opinion on the ground that being a married man, he would know why a man’s penis would be enlarged. Would such testimony and evidence qualify as the benchmark for the prosecution establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt, which is essential for convicting the Talwar’s for murders? It is still open to determine whether or not the Talwar’s found reprieve on grounds of innocence or as beneficiaries of the benefit of doubt. × Today’s judgement of the Allahabad High Court acquitting the Talwars remedied, what in my opinion, was an untenable order of conviction in the Aarushi Talwar murder case. Make no mistake, the acquittal by itself doesn’t mean that the Talwar’s were innocent. Pending the review of the copy of the judgement of acquittal, it is still open to determine whether or not the Talwar’s found reprieve on grounds of innocence or as beneficiaries of the benefit of doubt, occasioned by a poorly conceived investigation and prosecution. Either way, they did not deserve to languish in prison, and I think justice is done one way or the other by the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court. That being said, it must be noted that in the case of State v. Kishan Bai, the Supreme Court directed that in cases of acquittal due to lapses in investigation and prosecution, the acquitting court has to identify the source of lapses and direct action to be taken against the erring investigators and prosecutors. Therefore, the Aarushi Talwar case is an excellent opportunity for the judiciary to fix accountability on the investigators and prosecutor(s) who spearheaded the case of the prosecution leading to the conviction which is now set aside. The unfortunate reality in every case of acquittal, especially in cases as heinous as murder or rape, is that the victim and her loved ones have no closure on one hand and on the other hand, the accused is branded a criminal until his/her name is cleared. In itself, the journey preceding the acquittal is a tragedy, for all stakeholders on both sides. Aarushi Talwar case is an excellent opportunity for the judiciary to fix accountability on the investigators and prosecutor(s) who spearheaded the case. × What makes this tragedy particularly bad for the Talwars is that they are both the loved ones without closure as well as the accused who languished in prison on the strength of a conviction order which eventually was set aside. Therefore, by virtue of the said judgement of the Supreme Court, it is time we identified the men and women who were responsible for the poor investigation and prosecution and ensured they are suitably disciplined as per law. The time spent in prison by the Talwars on the strength of careless investigation and prosecution must be quantified and suitable reparations are called for. And at the very least, such reparations must include identifying the killer in the murder of Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj and bringing him or her or them to justice.

Aarushi and the Talwars' domestic help Hemraj were murdered in 2008

The Allahabad High Court is expected to announce its verdict today on whether dentist couple Nupur and Rajesh Talwar murdered their teenage daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj in 2008. The court will decide on an appeal filed by the Talwars challenging a CBI court order convicting them for the murder of Aarushi and Hemraj. The couple have been in Ghaziabad's Dasna jail since 2013 after a special CBI court in Ghaziabad convicted them and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The judge who found them guilty accused them of destroying evidence. A division bench of the high court comprising justices B K Narayana and A K Mishra had reserved its judgement on September 7 and fixed October 12 as the date for the verdict. Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead inside her room in the Talwars' Noida residence with her throat slit with surgical precision on the night of May 15-16. Hemraj, 45, was initially suspected of the murder after he was found missing, however, body was recovered from the terrace of the house two days later. The police then suspected the Talwars and said Rajesh Talwar had murdered Aarushi and Hemraj after finding them in an "objectionable" position. Rajesh Talwar was arrested seven days after the murder by the Uttar Pradesh Police on May 23, 2008 after which he was lodged at Dasna Jail and let off on bail on July 11. In 2012, his wife Nupur surrendered before a Ghaziabad court before trial and was also sent to the same prison. The accusations enraged the Talwars and friends, who accused the police of framing the dentist couple in order to cover up a botched investigation. After the Uttar Pradesh police drew criticism for its shoddy investigation, then chief minister Mayawati handed over the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI initially exonerated the parents and suspected the Talwars' assistant Krishna, and two domestic servants, Rajkumar Sharma and Vijay Mandal, of the murder. In 2009, the CBI handed over the investigation to a new team, which in 2010 recommended closing the case due to critical gaps in the investigation. It named Rajesh as the sole suspect based on circumstantial evidence but refused to charge him because of lack of evidence. The court refused to allow the CBI to close the case.
