HC reserves order on Ajmal Kasab?s death plea on Feb 7

The Bombay High Court on Monday reserved its order on the appeal by lone surviving terrorist of 26/11-Ajmal Kasab-against his death sentence till Feb 7.

Ajmal Kasab?s case was being heard since October. The court?s order comes after it concluded the hearing on Monday.

Maharashtra government?s appeal against acquittal of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) members Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed, who allegedly provided maps of targets to terrorists, were also reserved.

The Bombay High Court on Oct 18 began hearing through video conferencing the appeal by Kasab against his death sentence.

On Oct 19, Kasab spat at the court for not being allowed in the courtroom and instead being heard from the jail and reports said he demanded his trial in a US human rights court.

He was agitated and his behaviour was unruly, reports said, quoting the judges.

A TV report said the angry terrorist spat at the judges from the jail during the video hearing and threw tantrums. He also demanded his trial in USA’s human rights court.

His act amounts to contempt of court.
