The Talwar couple, who have been acquitted in the 2008 murder case of their teenage daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, are likely to be released from Dasna Jail on Monday. The Talwars have been lodged in Dasna jail since November 2013 in connection with the twin murders. Dasna Jail Superintendent Dadhiram Maurya said, “we have not received the court order as yet. We will release them once we get it.” [caption id=“attachment_4136171” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] File image of Aarushi Talwar’s father Rajesh Talwar. PTI[/caption] He said there were two methods to complete the process of releasing a prisoner from jail. “Either the Allahabad High Court sends its order copy directly to jail authorities or it is sent through the CBI court concerned which awarded them life sentence,” he said. “In 99 percent cases we get order copy through post. If we are handed over the hard copy of the order we will release them,” Maurya added. The Allahabad High Court had on Thursday acquitted the Talwars in the case, saying neither the circumstances nor the evidence was enough to hold them guilty. The verdict ends, at least for now, the nine-year ordeal of the Noida couple who were sentenced to life by a Ghaziabad CBI court on 28 November, 2013 for the double murders that not only transfixed but also shook the nation with its element of filicide. With the acquittal, the central question in the bizarre mystery resurfaces — who killed the 14-year-old girl and the 45-year-old man.

Why was the Talwar couple’s release delayed?
The delay in the Talwar couple’s release, even after their acquittal, was attributed to court holidays and the fact that the certified copy of the Allahabad High Court order acquitting them failed to reach the prison authorities on Friday.
The jail authorities can only release a person after they receive the certified copy of the court’s order directing their release. The copy of the judgement is usually sent by post to the prison authorities, or the person’s lawyer can submit it in person.
In the Talwar couple’s case, their lawyers received the copy of the judgement only late on Friday evening. Read more here.
