KASAB 2

Friday's order, the judge said, "In the interests of
justice the issue has been resolved amicably. Keeping in mind
the submissions made by proseuctor and the defence lawyer, it
can be said that the observations made by me yesterday would
not be taken into consideration."

Earlier, when the court assembled in the morning, Kazmi
said he was shocked over the court's observation that he was a
liar. "Please tell me the allegations against me and I shall
reply within 24 hours after taking independent legal advice,"
he said.
Kazmi's controversial statement came on Thursday after
prosecutor Nikam informed the Judge that he desired to file
340 affidavits of formal witnesses and that copies of 233 such
documents have already been served on the defence lawyer.
When the judge asked Kazmi whether he wanted to cross
examine any of these witnesses, Kazmi said he would declare
his strategy after Nikam filed these affidavits in court.
Nikam said he had informed the court in his opening
address on May 8 that he would be filing such affidavits.
However, Kazmi said Nikam had not made such disclosure in
his opening address, prompting the judge to say that he
(Kazmi) was telling lies. (MORE) PTI SVS
