Talwar case judge acted like film director: HC

October 13, 2017 09:26

Exonerating Rajesh and Nupur Talwar of their teen daughter Aarushis murder in 2008 by overruling an earlier verdict, the Allahabad High Court has scathingly likened a lower court judge to a "math teacher" and a "film director trying to thrust coherence into scattered facts".

"The learned trial Judge cannot act like a math teacher who is solving a mathematical question by analogy after taking certain figure for granted... Like a film director, the trial judge has tried to thrust coherence amongst facts inalienably scattered here and there but not giving any coherence to the idea as to what in fact happened," the judgment says according to a report by NDTV.

The Talwars will walk out of jail today, four years after they were arrested for the killing of Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj at their apartment in Noida near Delhi.

The verdict also strikes down the 2013 trial court order by stating that "the entire judgment is on the whole creation of fanciful reasoning with pick and choose, presuming facts with indomitable obstinancy and taking things for granted, thus, basing conclusion on unfounded evidence."
