The CBI Friday argued that murdered teenager Aarushi Talwar's father Rajesh Talwar had no 'locus standi' to argue as he was 'no more a complainant' in the case. The special CBI court reserved its order after hearing both sides of the argument.

Rajesh Talwar's lawyer Satish Tamta pleaded to the court that all documents regarding the Aarushi murder case be made available to Rajesh Talwar.

Opposing Tamta's argument, CBI lawyer R.K. Saini told the court that Rajesh Talwar was 'no more a complainant now'. He added that the Noida police had already suspected and arrested him in the case, after which he had become the accused in the case so he has 'no locus standi' to argue or put his stand in the case before the court.

CBI Special Magistrate Preeti Singh reserved the order after hearing arguments from both sides. The judgement is expected to be announced in the afternoon.

Aarushi, 14, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her parents' Jalvayu Vihar apartment in Noida,on May 16, 2008. Their domestic help Hemraj's body was found on the flat's terrace a day later.
