Mumbai: House stoned, police post guards Last month’s terror attacks in Mumbai have catapulted an unlikely person into limelight — Mukesh Deshmukh (40), a lawyer practising criminal law in Amravati for the past 10-12 years without ever holding any brief that attracted significant media attention. He h  ....Read more

Why Humanity for InhumansBy: Raghunath | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 18:25:23 PM Reply | Forward It is regretting to note our lawyers, are so greedy that they stoop to that level to defend a terrorist who has killed Indians. The lawyer under the guise of legality and using the Indian Constitution is cleverly defending Kasab. If it is not for money, then what for? Does a terrorist, who has been a part of a contingent, deserve any mercy or human rights? Why does Mukesh Deshmukh crave for publicity? He does not deserve to be an Indian in the first place. Can anyone explain - if a person goes against the counrty he becomes anti-nationalist - then what about this lawyer? What should he be called? If at all you have any shame Mr. Mukund, please withdraw. We, Mumbaikars are already hurt. Dont stab us further.
Shiv Sena means: Shameless Humans In Vandalizing Secular Esteem, who Never, gets ArrestedBy: BQ | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 14:56:08 PM Reply | Forward Shiv Sena means:ShamelessHumansInVandalizingSecularEsteem, whoNever, getsArrestedThere is a very thin line between the terrorist and such groups like shiv sena, Bajrang dal, RSS, VHP etc.Pls can anybody tell me where were these hooligans when the city was burning. It was the security forces who put their lives a stake to save so many innocent lives.Now when everything is over they come out to show their muscle power(cowards) on innocent and harmless citizen. Who is Shiv Sena to decide as to who should and who should not take the case.It`s an act of seeking political mileage. In which they are an expert. What is the Maha Govt. doing? Sitting

Legal aid to KasabBy: Shekhar | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 13:20:16 PM Reply | Forward If it is understood that having a lawyer is essentially a part of legal process and also realised that none should interfere the same then any person or persons belonging to any party should not act contrary to this to derive gains from publicity. Else they will be perceived by the public as Non State Actors.

Shiv Sena - the perennial nuisanceBy: JST | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 10:48:47 AM Reply | Forward If the Shiv Sena are so concerned about India's safety from foreign terrorist forces, who is stopping them from joining the miitary and taking the battle to the terrorists? Instead, these cowards act like goondas making a nuisance of themselves and harassing fellow Indians. Let Constitutional forces decide if Qasab is entitled to legal defense as a criminal or has relinquished this right by being an enemy combatant captured during an act of war. The Shiv Sena aren't equipped - legally or intellectually - to make this determination.
Shiv sena !!!!!By: AKP | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 10:21:06 AM Reply | Forward I salute Shiv Sena's courage to intimidate a ordinary lawyer. It not an easy task for a political party in India to irritate people.
Legal Aid to Terrorist KasabBy: Senior Advocate Upendranath Awasthi | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 9:06:30 AM Reply | Forward This is true that no accused in a criminal case can be denied legal aid if he is unable to engage a counsel of his choice but this is also true that any lawyer should solicit brief merely for the sake of cheap publicity. Kasab must not be knowing Mr Deshmukh hence there is no question of his engaging him. If Kasab fails to engage a counsel with his powerful and wealty supporters in Pakistan and in the terrorist world he will manage legal assistance in due course without which the trial would not proceed. In the event he fails to get legal assistance from any corner, the legal tradition demands that President of the local Bar Association should be appointed by the Trial Court who is duty bound to render honest legal assistance within the four corners of law. In the circumstances Kasab is placed, I would advice him to confess and divulge all the truth within his knowledge showing repentence and remorse over his participation in the dastrardly crime. He may thus cleanse himself.
Battle between emotion and responsiblity.By: Hassan | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 15:41:23 PM Reply | Forward The truth is that every lawyer upon receiving their sanad has to pledge that he/she will aid anyone with legal assitance without discrimination.But i think that's what promted the lawyer to take up the case.But what will he argue during the trial process for the terrorist who killed our valuable citizens and guests in the public?..that he is innocent?.How can he do it?.It will be a battle between emotion for his country and his responsibility to his duty.American lawyers had come forward to respresent the terrorists,who are accused to be conspirators of 9/11,in the court.I think it is quite perplexing.

Also those who are suggesting them to join army are stupid because our army is under most stupid politicians of the world. It is very easy to give advise ...
Shivsena attack on LawyerBy: Govindarajan | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 5:24:10 AM Reply | Forward What is the difference between the guys who came in across the border and the idiots like this within the border? Religeon- Muslim vs Hindu? Shame. This outfit should be banned in India.
