New Delhi: With no advocate willing to defend Ajmal Kasab, a Delhi-based lawyer on Wednesday offered to appear for the lone captured terrorist involved in the Mumbai terror attacks. The lawyer said that he wanted to take up the legal battle on behalf of Kasab as his trial would get vitiated without a counsel and could lead to his acquittal on this ground in higher courts. The offer to provide legal help came against the backdrop of the Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan’s remarks that the trial against any unrepresented accused could become “vitiated”. “The alleged terrorist should be provided all possible legal help under the framework of our Constitution and he should not get out of clutches of law on this ground that he went unrepresented in the court,” M S Khan, a Patiala House courts-based lawyer, said.
