Aarushi- Hemraj murder case: CBI to take Talwars to SC; top 10 developments

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday moved the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court's order acquitting Nupur Talwar and Rajesh Talwar in the Aarushi- Hemraj murder case.



The Allahabad High Court, in a judgment last year, observed that the Noida-based dentist couple couldn't be held responsible for the murder of Aarushi and household help Hemraj because of insufficient evidence. That verdict itself was the outcome of a nine-year-long case that dragged on following several twists and turns. A CBI court in Ghaziabad had earlier sentenced the doctor couple to life imprisonment in 2013.



The CBI has said that the Allahabad HC made a mistake in overturning the trial court's 'well-reasoned' judgment. However, following the High Court's October 2017 order, Hemraj's widow had in December moved the apex court against the acquittal.



On May 15, 2008, 14-year old Aarushi Talwar had been found dead in the Talwars' Noida apartment. At first, the police had suspected Hemraj to have committed the murder, since he was missing. Two days later, Hemraj's dead body was discovered fromm the terrace of the Talwars' residence.



Khumkala Banjade, the wife of the murdered domestic help, was quoted by the Times of India as saying that she would fight to get her husband's killers brought to justice. She had also said that the family had been struggling to make ends meet.

Govt mulls allowing airlines with negative net worth to bid for Air India

Image
The government is likely to relax the eligibility criteria for Air India disinvestment by allowing airlines with negative net worth to bid. However, non-airline companies may be told to satisfy minimum net worth conditions to prove their financial strength. The evaluation committee of Air India, after discussions with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, had suggested that all bidders be mandated to fulfil a minimum net worth criterion, a source said. However, when the Core Group of Secretaries on Disinvestment (CGD) met over the last two weeks to finalise the bidding norms, some members pointed out that setting high net worth as an eligibility condition would block the prospects of many airline companies. In fact, the difference in opinion between the two government bodies has led to a delay in the announcement of the expression of interest. The core group has now suggested that a company with a proven track record of running a successful airline be allowed to b...
