Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Allahabad High Court which refused to interfere with the Special Judicial Magistrate's cognizance of offences under Sections 302/34 and 201/34 IPC against Dr. Rajesh Talwar and Dr. Nupur Talwar for the murders of Aarushi and Hemraj. The Court emphasized the need to adhere to legal principles despite public sentiment surrounding the case. The judgment confirmed the Magistrate's authority to take cognizance based on the police report under Section 190(1)(b) of the Cr.P.C.
