Hemraj and Aarushi were murdered. People refer to the case as Aarushi murder case. Hemraj is forgotten.
The case has seen many twists. After Aarushi was found murdered it was said that Hemraj was missing. He was the suspect. Next day his body was found on the terrace.
Rajesh Talwar was the suspect. A police officer called a press conference and said Rajesh Talwar had found Aarushi and Hemraj in an objectionable position, not a compromising position.
Supporters of Rajesh Talwar cried foul. There was a demand to hand over the case to CBI and it happened. The CBI officer let off Rajesh Talwar. Three servants were arrested. Narco tests were done. Attempts were made to put words in their mouths and frame them. There was no evidence against the three.
Years passed. Another officer came. He came to the conclusion that Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar were murderers but that could not be proved. He filed closure report.
There were four people in the house. Two were murdered. Nobody came from outside. The two who remained were guilty. Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar committed murders or one of them committed murders and another abetted in cover-up. As said by fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, “When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
The Talwars were happy that CBI had filed closure report. They pretended they were outraged. They did not know they were suspects.
The court refused to accept closure report and told CBI to pursue the case. The Talwars went on appeals repeatedly and delayed the process. They could hire expensive lawyers. They had friends who appeared on TV channels and defended them.
Nupur Talwar skipped court appearance on 11/4/2012. The special CBI court at Ghaziabad issued a non-bailable warrant against her. CBI went to arrest her. She could not be found at her residence. CBI sent people to different places to find her.
Nupur Talwar appealed in Supreme Court on 12/4/2012 through her lawyer. She did not get bail. She was asked to appear in court. CBI was not prevented from arresting her. She appeared in Supreme Court the next day. The bench comprising Justices B. S. Chauhan and J. S. Shekhar rejected her bail.
What followed was mind boggling. Within minutes of rejection another bench comprising A. K. Patnaik and another judge took up the case of Nupur Talwar. They restrained CBI from arresting Nupur Talwar. They said we have to protect Nupur Talwar. They said the case will go before a bench headed by CJI S. H. Kapadia. CBI said they knew the whereabouts of Nupur Talwar but they had not arrested her.
A. K. Patnaik is a disgrace and a shame. He had no business to take up Nupur Talwar’s petition. Judges like him pervert the system. There will be anarchy. CJI should stop him from functioning. CBI could have gone back to B. S. Chauhan and J. S. Shekhar and they could have said “Who is A. K. Patnaik? Arrest Nupur Talwar right now right here.”
Parliament should start removal procedure against him. Removal is not enough. Law must be changed to hang A. K. Patnaik. He and his associate are like two evil judges in the Book of Daniel. Those two judges framed an innocent woman and sent her to death and Daniel saved her. Here the Supreme Court judges saved a criminal.
On 18/4/2012 in CBI court CBI sought and got extension of non-bailable warrant up to 30/4/2012 and said they will not arrest Nupur Talwar until CJI transfers the case to a bench. A lawyer told the journalists CBI should assume its responsibility and arrest Nupur Talwar. There is no stay on arrest from CBI court, High Court or Supreme Court. CBI is playing a double game. They say they want to arrest Nupur Talwar but do not arrest her.
Sometime back a High Court judge said CBI should be shut down. If CBI knew the whereabouts of Nupur Talwar they should have arrested her. Their search on 11/4/2012 was a farce.
Removal of bad Supreme Court and High Court judges should be an easy process. CBI officers who frame innocent people should be held accountable.
Some chief ministers talk of NCTC being in violation of constitution and federal structure. When Supreme Court or a High Court orders a case to be investigated by CBI it is a violation of constitution and federal structure.
Shame on lawyers who represent and people who defend the Talwars.
