A Ghaziabad court will on Tuesday take up the framing of charges against dentist couple Nupur Talwar and Rajesh Talwar in the case relating to the murder of their teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj after the accused pleaded lack of preparation for arguments.
The couple's advocate filed an application before the Additional District Judge of Central Bureau of Investigation special court Shyam Lal contending that the investigating agency has handed over 6000 pages of documents to them only a day before and they are not prepared for arguments against the charge-framing.
The judge on Monday gave them one day's time for being prepared and fixed for next hearing for Tuesday.
