Supreme Court hear plea against acquittal of 26/11 terror attack case

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the plea of Maharashtra government against the acquittal of two accused of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. A bench headed by Justices  Aftab Alam made it clear to the State Government that it is a weak case. The bench while issuing notice to Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ansari said that the alleged Indian conspirators of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack said that it is a weak case.
The court however refused to pass any order on Ajmal Kasab, the sole convict in the case, when the state government pleaded that his letter to the Supreme Court challenging his death sentence should be tagged with this appeal.
The bench said that they are taking a step regarding the Kasab's letter.
Maharashtra government had filed the plea challenging the Bombay High Court's February 21 order upholding the acquittal of Ansari and Ahmed by the trial court. The two were acquitted for wnt of corroborative evidence.
