26/11: Court to decide on postponing trial to April 13

Mumbai, Mar 23 (PTI) A special court here is today
expected to take a decision on a prosecution plea for
postponement of the trial of three accused in the Mumbai
attacks, including Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, to April 13.

Special judge M L Tahiliyani is likely to take a
decision on the application filed by the prosecution seeking
the trial be postponed since the high security court in Arthur
Road jail is not yet ready.

Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested in connection with
the attacks in the city, is likely to appear before the court
through video conferencing from the Arthur Road jail in
central Mumbai.

The judicial custody of Kasab, currently lodged in a
high security cell in Arthur Road jail, ends Monday.

Kasab has not been produced in open court since his
arrest citing security reasons.

Two alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives,
Sabauddin Ahmed and Faheem Ansari, will also face trial for
their alleged involvement in aiding the terrorists who
participated in the November 26 attacks in which 183 people
were killed.
