The Supreme Court today directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a status report giving details of the investigation carried out in the sensational Aarushi-Hemraj murder case.
A bench comprising Justices Altamas Kabir and Cyrus Joseph issued the direction when Solicitor General of India, Gopal Subramaniam, appearing for the CBI, informed the court that the investigating agency will file a comprehensive status report in the case.
The apex court was hearing a PIL filed by Dr Surat Singh, an advocate, seeking directions to the government, to lay down some guidelines for media as well as for the police to ensure that the reputation of the victims and their families are not destroyed due to irresponsible reporting as well as disclosure of the details of investigation by the police to the media.
A student of ninth standard of Delhi Public School, Noida, Aarushi Talwar and the family servant Hemraj, were found brutally murdered at their Noida residence on May 15 last year.
The Noida police, as well as the CBI, have not been able to crack the case even after more than one year.
Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of Aarushi was arrested in the case, but was granted bail when CBI failed to collect evidence against him. The two servants, who were arrested, were also granted bail on the same grounds.
