The prosecution will advocate the noose but the defence will argue for life sentence Tuesday when a special court pronounces the quantum of sentence for the husband-wife team and their aide convicted for the August 2003 twin bombings in Mumbai.

Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) Special Judge MR Puranik had found Mohammed Hanif Sayed, his wife Fahimida MH Sayed and their associate Ashrat Shafique Ansari guilty of carrying out the August 25, 2003, blasts in Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazar in which 54 people were killed and 244 injured.
