  • Kasab
    Kasab will have to be contended with story books given by his lawyer after court's refusal to give him Urdu newspapers.

    "This is the same shirt which was sealed in my presence," the witness said when it was shown to him in the court.

    During cross-examination by defence lawyer Abbas Kazmi, he denied that ready-made panchanama was given to him and he had signed it.

    Jadhav also refuted allegations that he was falsely deposing before the court at the instance of police.

    26/11 trial: Kasab denied Urdu news papers, given story books

    With court refusing him newspapers, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, prime accused in the Mumbai terror attacks case, will have to be contended with story books given by his lawyer.

    His advocate Abbas Kazmi said that he had given four story books in Urdu to the jailor two weeks ago and requested that they may be given to Kasab.

    Asked if Kasab enjoyed reading the books, "I am not aware whether he had read them. So far he has not made further request for such books," Kazmi said.

    Kasab had urged for Urdu newspapers but on Tuesday the court had turned down his plea. The terrorist had previously said that he studied up to fourth standard and can read and write Urdu.

    Kasab was keenly watching the court proceedings on Wednesday and did not display his usual mood swings when witnesses were deposing against him.

    On Tuesday, the court had rebuked him for laughing all the while (during his trial) and told him to be "serious".

    Behead him immediatelyBy: Prem Sadani | 14-May-2009 Reply | Forward In Saudi Arabia, this rascal would have been beheaded on the third day of his crime. But in Inida, he is enjoying free hospitality and other facilities. This trial is expected to last for more than five years with lengthy legal process and then he will be kept in the jail even after supreme court would award capital punishment. He will be released when LET would hijack Indian plane and in a bargain plea, get him out of the jail. Bharat mata ki Jai.
    26//11 By: Sheetal | 14-May-2009 Reply | Forward I am an Indian Citizen, now living in Canada for more than a decade and have seen the commitment of the western societies to their people and more importantly, it's people's commitment to their country. These two events have been the most visible heinous crimes perpetrated on our country. And yet - not a single lawyer or law practitioner or a Bar Association of our country has come out stating that they will provide their legal services in fighting these cases. I am amazed at the Ram Jethmalanis of India - where is your social conscience ? Where is the commitment of it's people to it's nation in times like these. Are there no lady lawyers who can bring the despicable culprits of the Pub episode to task ? Are they only fit to appear on NDTVs public foras ? The question continues to haunt me.
