On 26 May 2014, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court asked the High Court to re-hear the petition.
On 30 May the High Court upheld the lower court order that had sentenced Aman to 13 years jail and his wife Sabera to three years.
It also asked them to surrender before the court within 15 days of getting the text of the verdict.
