Rajesh and Nupur Talwar have challenged their conviction for double murder

The Allahabad High Court is likely to pronounce its verdict on Thursday on an appeal filed by dentist couple, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, challenging their conviction for the murder of their teenage daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

Life sentence

The couple were convicted for the double murder and sentenced to life imprisonment by a special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ghaziabad in November 2013.

A Division Bench had on January 11 reserved its judgment on the appeal filed by the doctor couple.

However, the court decided to hear the appeals afresh due to contradictions in some submissions made by the CBI.
