In July, the High Court provided a voluminous judgment, more than five pages of which was devoted to explaining what kind of DNA testing-related documents the defence had the right to access and why. Fundamentally, the court said this: the defence (in this case the Talwars) had the right to all data that formed the basis of the opinion provided by the CBI's forensic expert. The judge made it clear that in the interest of a fair trial, the Talwars could take the raw data to their own expert and seek a second opinion. In the High Court's view, the trial court's rejection of this right was a "patent illegality", which it corrected. It is baffling as to why the CBI doesn't want to part with the data. http://www.sify.com/news/aarushi-case-why-cbi-is-reluctant-to-handover-dna-evidence-to-talwars-news-columns-njmgwQigjad.html
