Judge M L Tahilyani is yet to pass an order in connection with the issue, which is likely to be a centre of attention during the proceedings in the special court on Wednesday, specially set up in the Arthur Road Central prison, under high security.

A complaint has also been filed with the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa against Waghmare alleging that she was guilty of "professional misconduct" by accepting briefs of witness and accused in the same case.

The complaint filed by Sachin Vaze, former cop and Shiv Sena activist alleged that she had violated rule 14 of Bar Council of India rules.

"The Bar Council has not yet decided my complaint. I have talked to the witness who had categorically informed that Waghmare had signed the vakalatnama," Vaze said and claimed he had seen the document signed by the lawyer.

Earlier, Waghmare had earned the wrath of Shiv Sena activists for accepting the brief of Kasab after she was appointed by the court to defend him. Party workers had raised slogans outside her house at Worli, prompting the police to provide her security.
