Rajesh and Nupur Talwar; India; Aarushi case: The Indian Express reports that the Court has rejected Rajesh Talwar's application for access to key police investigation documents which will assist the court on the basis that the case is closed."..."Talwar’s counsel Satish Tamta objected to his client being called an accused. “It is not right to call my client an accused at this stage. The court had observed last time that nobody is an accused at this stage. We are here in the capacity of first informant. To say that they have given wrong information is incorrect. We are not demanding copies of the case diary,” he said. “What we want is documents like CFSL reports so that I can help the court. It is such a big double murder, how can the case be closed. I don’t want the case to be closed. I am asking for the documents in the interest of justice.” He accused the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) of having an uncooperative attitude." (Publisher's Note: This seems straight out of Kafke; In prison, treated as an accused although the court says nobody is an accused - and then denied vital inforation that could assist the court and help establish Rajesh and Nupur's innocence on the basis that the case is 'closed." And to make matters worse, possible suspects in the murder are attempting to block the Talwars from receiving the documents. 'Kafkaesque' and most 'unjust' and 'unfair.' Harold Levy. Publisher.

"The Talwars had on January 11 moved an application seeking all documents submitted by the CBI in support of the closure report. Talwar’s counsel Satish Tamta objected to his client being called an accused. “It is not right to call my client an accused at this stage. The court had observed last time that nobody is an accused at this stage. We are here in the capacity of first informant. To say that they have given wrong information is incorrect. We are not demanding copies of the case diary,” he said. “What we want is documents like CFSL reports so that I can help the court. It is such a big double murder,how can the case be closed. I don’t want the case to be closed. I am asking for the documents in the interest of justice.” He accused the CBI of having an uncooperative attitude. Meanwhile, Fatehchand Sharma, counsel for three servants who were earlier arrested in the case,supported the CBI and said Rajesh is an accused like them and hence should not be given any documents.......... “The court should order further investigation and direct the CBI to file a chargesheet,” Sharma said. ......... Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found murdered in her room with her throat slit at her residence on May 16,2008. The body of Hemraj was found on the terrace the next day. In its closure report,CBI held Rajesh as the prime suspect but said it had insufficient evidence to file a chargesheet against him. The CBI conclusions were trashed by Rajesh and Nupur. The CBI had on December 29 filed a report to end the probe clearing the names of three servants – Raj Kumar,Krishna and Vijay Mandal – in the case."
