Wearing a light green T-shirt and grey track bottoms,Ajmal Amir Kasab,the lone surviving terrorist from the November 26-29 attacks on Mumbai,stood with his hands down before Metropolitan Magistrate N N Shrimangle. Police produced Indias most high-profile prisoner before the court on Monday to seek extension of his remand.

Reporters were not allowed to view the court proceedings,taking place inside the Arthur Road jail premises. However,parts of a short conversation between the terrorist and the magistrate were audible. Kasab spoke in Hindi and Urdu throughout. He asked for a Urdu translation of the chargesheet filed in Marathi and English from the magistrate. The magistrate,however,passed no order asking police to provide him with an Urdu translation.

The conversation was as follows.

Shrimangle: What is your name?

Kasab: Ajmal Kasab

Shrimangle: What is your full name?

Kasab: Mohammed Ajmal Mohammed Ameer Kasab.

Shrimangle: Did you get the copy?

Kasab: No reply

Shrimangle: Chargesheet ka copy mila? (Did you get a copy of the chargesheet?)

Kasab: Haan mila. Par usmein jo likha hai who mere samajh ke bahar hai. Mujhe meri zabaan Urdu mein chahiye. (Yes,I got the chargesheet. But I cant understand its contents. I want a copy in my own language,Urdu.)

Shrimangle: Copy mila na? (You got the copy,right?) (Turning to chief investigating officer Ashok Duraphe) Diya copy na?

Duraphe: Yes.

Kasab: Copy mein jo likha hai woh samjhta nahin hai. Urdu mein chahiye. (I dont understand what is written in that copy. I want it in Urdu.)

Shrimangle: Jo diya hai woh barobar hai,chal abhi tu jaa,tera case abhi March 23 ko session court mein chalenga,iske baad jo bolna hai sessions court mein bolna. (What has been give to you is all right. You go now. Your case will begin on March 23 in the sessions court. Whatever you want to say,say there.)
