    The lawyer of November 26 terror strikes accused Mohammed Ajmal Kasab said on Thursday that he would like to recuse himself from the case as his client has no confidence in him.

    "Sir, I feel I should withdraw at this stage. He (Kasab) does not take me into confidence and I will recuse myself," Abbas Kazmi told special judge M L Tahaliyani after the court accepted Kasab's plea of guilt.

    The judge then explained to Kasab in Hindi that his lawyer has gained an impression that you have no confidence in him and hence wants to withdraw.

    "Maine aise kuch nahin kaha hai (I have not said anything like that)," Kasab said.

    The court then told Kasab to speak with his lawyer and clear any misunderstandings between them. "It appears he has certain misunderstandings. Your duty is to clear it and I do not think it is a big issue," the court said.

    The court instructed Kasab to meet with his lawyer. The judge also told Kazmi, "I have appointed you as Kasab's lawyer and will not easily allow you to take this extreme step. I will give one chance for Kasab to talk to you and clear all doubts in your mind."

    Kazmi had been appointed by the court to represent Kasab after it could not find a lawyer in the state legal aid cell.

    PART-1,,ACT-2By: suresh | 24-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward This drama is being REMOTE CONTROLED,at least Bal Thakherey does not have the remote,wonder why the likes of Stlevard of the best bakery fame, Rajinder sachar of the sachar commite fame,are not replacing the Kasab lawyer
    The case is more imp than KasabBy: Giri | 24-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward It is imp that the case is conducted in a transparent and fair manner, not for the sake of the accused Kasab but for the sake of justice in India. This is a chance to prove to the world that India follows a fair judicial process in punishing terrorist perpetrators, however difficult it is for the affected persons and the nation as a whole.
    I fully support Kazmi in his effortBy: Sankar | 23-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward The court has appointed Kazmi to represent Kassab. Any lawyer should represent their client's interest 100%. Don’t went your anger at Kazmi ! I appreciate Kazmi for being brave enough to do this unglorious job, of representing this criminal, when the whole world knows who the crimal and the conspirators are . If Hitler were on trial, he too would have a lawyer representing him . That is part of a fair justice system. Good job to India .Jai Hind!
    kAZMI HIT AT BOTH THE ENDSBy: Chandramohan Shinde | 23-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Indians did not like when he accepted to be Kasab's lawyer. But he adamantly decided to fight Kasab's case on the pretext of professionalizm. Thus he lost faith of the people in this country. Now he says that his client has lost faith in him. He is hit at both the ends ! It is a poetic justice for Kazmi.
