Aarushi case: SC to hear Talwars' plea tomorrow

May 12, 2013 13:08

The Supreme Court will tomorrow hear a plea of dentist couple Nupur and Rajesh Talwar, accused of killing their teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, for calling 14 witnesses to record their statements in the trial court.

A vacation bench of justices B S Chauhan and Dipak Misra will hear their plea. The Talwar couple has approached the apex court challenging the order of the special CBI court rejecting their plea for calling 14 other witnesses, including ADG (Law and Order) and the then CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar, to record their statements.

The trial court had dismissed their petition on May 6 and ordered recording of statements of Rajesh and Nupur, who are the main accused.
