Advocate for Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone gunman arrested for his alleged involvement in the November 26 terror strikes, on Tuesday sought four weeks time to reply to the draft charges proposed by the prosecution. Abbas Kazmi, who was appointed by the court last week to represent Kasab, sought time to study the case.
Azmi was a hero in Malegaon where he took up the cases of several persons accused in the Malegaon blasts. He was a defence counsel for the Jamiat-Ulema and along with this organisation he had filed a case in the Supreme Court challenging the imposition of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act against the Malegaon blasts accused. The case is still pending.
