* The high court dismissed CBI court's order sentencing Talwar couple to life term for the double murder.

* The Allahabad HC said that the evidence against Aarushi's parents (Rajesh and Nupur Talwar) were circumstantial.


* The court, while ordering their immediate release, also cited various shortcomings in the trial court's judgment while giving its verdict.


* The CBI failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the Talwars murdered Aarushi and Hemraj, Times Now reported quoting the HC bench as saying.


* Soon after the verdict in Aarushi case, CBI said that it will study high court order and decide future course of action.
