HC puts on hold release of film on Aarushi Talwar's killing

The counsel also assured the court that in the promos and advertisement they would put a disclaimer saying that the movie was a work of fiction and did not bear any resemblance to any person, dead or alive.

The Talwars have filed an appeal against their conviction and it is pending in the Court. Both pleaded that promos and advertisements of the film should be banned because it may influence their appeal, which is yet to be heard.  The judges, however, did not grant any relief to the Talwars while observing, “No case has been made out for grant of relief in the notice of motion.”

The court also took note of the assurance given by the film makers that they would put a disclaimer in the advertisements and promos of the film.

On the intervening night of May 15 and 16, 2008, Aarushi and the family's domestic servant Hemraj were found murdered at Talwar's residence in Noida, near Delhi.
