[Reader-list] Does Kasab Deserve any trial?

[subhrodip sengupta]

Nice indeed, Sir actually somebody pointed out that leaving NSA and technical stuf about onus of proof, Kasab is an accused, not proven guilty of what crimes he has committed. And that he has become a pak-slap thing, an aide of state, I can not immagine gallows for him in near future, though after that, once govt is stable, what is his stake is really unknown!Have any idea if the court sessions are in public or private in his case? Just wondering! A delicate issue in curving the mordern face of state, anti-terorism, terrorism etc. Quatorrachi,the Bofors Accused has finally been let from being extradiction by congress, fearing International Embarrassment. What a sabotage, Fine acting.

A kind-a report on the newspaper. Regards special treatment given to kasab by Judiciary and State of Maharashtra, which pre-elections remained silent tolerator of MNS. Supreme court itself has passed some negative comments on Kasab's right etc. The stand-point of TOI is clear from the heading. He is a terrorist. What should we do to him?
I do find no personal agrresion against him though. Do know about others.................
By the way this case the way police was appointed the defences used earlier, and the pivot role of the Media(defended by Indian Parliament) was a cherished lesson to all of us, at least whose life would be blant if nobody was worse off and needed our help.
By the way can anybody give an idea about Abbas Kazmi, and why is he being paid Rs 2500 per day?
I mean the amount is fine...................................................
There are also hints about raising the payment to state provided lawyer, but thats off course another pressing topic, needing awareness.



Kasab's lawyer to be paid Rs 2500 per day

MUMBAI: Senior lawyer Abbas Kazmi, who is representing prime accused in the 26/11 terror attack case Mohammed Azmal Amir Kasab, will get Rs 2,500  per day as remuneration from the Maharashtra government. 

The case is heard five days -- Monday to Friday -- every week, entitling Kazmi to Rs 12,500 per week or Rs 50,000 per month as fees for defending Kasab, officials sources said. 

As per the law, if an accused is unable to find a lawyer the court appoints one from state's legal aid cell. The court appointed advocate is paid a paltry sum of Rs 900 for the entire case. Therefore, very few come forward to represent an accused. 

However, looking into the sensitive nature of this case, a special court appointed Kazmi to defend Kasab and requested Maharashtra government to pay him a reasonable amount as remuneration. 

Judge M L Tahaliyani had clarified in his order that the remuneration to Kasab's lawyer will be decided by state as a special case and it will not serve as precedent for others to follow.
