Mumbai: The verdict of the trial court awarding death sentence to Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Kasab in the 26/11 terror attack case came up on Monday for confirmation before the Bombay High Court, which adjourned the matter to August 12.
Justices Ranjana Desai and Vijaya Tahilramani deferred the matter after public prosecutor Pandurang Pol informed that the state would file an appeal within a week against the acquittal of Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Shaikh in the same case.
The trial court had acquitted the two, charged with conspiracy in the terror attacks in the city, on the ground that evidence against them was "doubtful".
Kasab, who was not produced before the High Court on Monday for security reasons, had written a letter earlier following which Maharashtra state legal services authority had appointed Amin Solkar and Farhana Shah to defend Kasab at state's expense.
