The Supreme Court on Friday admitted a CBI plea against the acquittal of doctor-couple Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar in the murder of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, and issued a notice to them.

A bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi, while agreeing to hear the central probe agency's plea against the dentist couple's acquittal, sought a response from them. It tagged the Central Bureau of Investigation plea with the petititon of Hemraj's wife who also challenged the acquittal. The CBI had approached the Supreme Court on October 12, 2017, against the Allahabad High Court order of acquittal.
