Judge invokes Bible, Quran on ‘sacred’ life

In his 204-page order, the judge leaned heavily on holy books and edicts to disapprove of the parents' actions. "They have extirpated their own daughter who had hardly seen 14 summers of her life and the servant... in the breach of the commandment 'thou shall not kill' and injunction of Holy Quran 'take not life which God has made sacred'," he observed.

"The parents are the best protectors of their own children. That is the order of human nature but they have been freaks in the history of mankind where the father and mother became the killer of their own progeny," the judge said.
The court noted that the parents did not just stop at killing their daughter but also participated in destroying evidence. "They are also found guilty.

of secreting and obliterating the evidence of the commission of the murders to screen themselves from punishment," the court said.

"Dharmo rakshati rakshitaha (If we protect dharma, dharma will protect us). If we protect the law, the law will protect us. Both the accused have flouted the penal law of the land and therefore are liable to be convicted for murder, destruction of evidence and having common intention to commit the crime," the judge added.

The hearing, which lasted for barely two minutes, was high on drama with mediapersons restrained from entering the courtroom and the Uttar Pradesh police placing the court complex under strong security cover. Three DSPs, three station house officers, 90 constables and a platoon of PAC were deployed in and around the court.

The judgment was scheduled to be pronounced in the morning but the judge, who is to lay down office this month end, arrived in the high-security courtroom at 3.25pm and summoned both the accused.

Court sources said the judge read out the operative portion from his order and said that both parents had been convicted for murder and other crimes.

As soon as the judge pronounced the verdict, the Talwars broke down, sources said. They were taken into custody and sent to Dasna jail by the court.

Interestingly, within minutes of the verdict being pronounced, an official statement in the name of dentist couple was circulated expressing their "disappointment" over the verdict.

Reacting to the conviction, defence lawyer Satyaketu Singh said the judgment was wrong in law and would be appealed against in the high court.
