The law ministry has given a go-ahead to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to appeal against the acquittal of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar over the murders of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in a Noida flat in 2008.
A person familiar with the matter said that the law ministry has advised the CBI to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court.
An SLP can be filed against any decree or order of any high court.
There is already an appeal pending against the acquittal in the top court, filed last December by Hemraj's wife Khumkala Bandaje.
The Talwars were convicted by a Ghaziabad court in November 2013 and handed life terms. But last October, the Allahabad high court overturned the order saying there was "insufficient evidence" against the couple. The court pulled up the CBI for its shoddy investigation.
