Kasab's defence lawyer dismissed
Tuesday 1 December 2009

The defence lawyer Abbas Kazmi appointed for the lone surviving Pakistani terrorist of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks have been dismissed by the Court.  Instead Kazmi's assistant has been asked to take over as the main defence lawyer. The reason for his removal was alleged as Kazami's non corperation and his intentions to deliberately delay the case. However When asked on the court's move the lawyer seemed to be relieved of the job as he felt that representing Kazab was taking a toll on his personal and professional life as he faced hostility due to the sensitivity of the case.
