Kasab Appeals against Death Sentence

A month after being convicted for involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab has filed an appeal before the Bombay High Court challenging the verdict and sought a lawyer from the legal aid panel to argue his case, say media reports

On May 6, after an 11-month long trial, the special judge had sentenced Kasab to death charging him guilty of murder of seven people directly and 65 others in common intention with his dead partner Abu Ismail.

He was also convicted of waging war against India, attempt to murder, kidnap and robbery.

Kasab filed the appeal through the jail authorities and his plea for a lawyer has been forwarded to the Court Legal Services Committee (HCLSC), jail sources said today.

In the trial court Kasab was represented by SG Abbas Kazmi and later by KP Pawar, both were appointed by the government.
