MiD DAY speaks to lawyers to gauge the legal fraternity's response to the historic verdict, and also finds out what possible legal routes Qasab can take to escape the death penalty
Now that the Supreme Court has given its verdict, the question that rises is what legal options condemned terrorist Ajmal Qasab now has access to. MiD DAY spoke to legal experts to find out.
One of the options is revision, but chances seem bleak. According to advocate Ahmad Abdi, Qasab could opt for revision before going in for a clemency plea. “A revision is a proceeding which takes place before the same bench that heard the appeal. Its scope is very narrow. If an error is apparent on the face of the record, only then does revision make sense.”
