| Aarushi murder case: Talwars' trial to begin today

| The much-anticipated trial of Nupur and Rajesh Talwar for the double murder of their only child, Aarushi, and their domestic help, Hemraj, is set to begin today. Both were found dead at the Talwar home in a Delhi suburb in May 2008.
Aarushi's parents, who are both dentists, had appealed to the Supreme Court to dismiss their trial, ordered by a CBI court in Ghaziabad. They have been accused of murder and destruction of evidence. Mr Talwar faces an additional charge of deliberately misleading the court. However, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that Nupur and Rajesh Talwar will stand trial for the double murder.
The Supreme Court judges also rejected their appeal to order a re-investigation into the case because of major lapses the first time around.
"We have found no merit in the review petition and are not inclined to interfere with the order of the trial court," the Supreme Court verdict stated. One of the two judges who decided the matter was critical of the legal strategy employed by the Talwars. "I have noticed that every single order passed by the Magistrate, having any repercussion, is being assailed right up to this Court. Of course, the right to avail a remedy under law is the right of every citizen. But such a right, cannot extend to misuse of jurisdiction," he said.
The Talwars were not in court when the order against them was passed. However, through a statement that was read out by their lawyer outside the court, they said, "We will defend our honour and that of our only child, Aarushi, vigorously in court and we will not rest till all our innocence is proved."

The Supreme Court was the last stop for the Talwars in their effort to have the case against them dismissed. The couple says that the CBI, which has been investigating the case, is pinning the double-murder on them because it has not been able to find the real killer. The evidence against them is circumstantial.
