26/11: Long wait for Kasab lawyers to get legal fees

It seems to be a long wait for the two lawyers of Mumbai terror attack's lone surviving gunman Ajmal Kasab to get their legal fees.

Amin Solkar and Farhana Shah had argued for Kasab in the Bombay High Court against his death sentence almost on a day-to-day basis for nearly nine months. They were nominated by the High Court.

But the two claimed that the legal aid cell of Maharashtra Government was yet to clear their remuneration.

The High Court had given its verdict confirming the death penalty of the Pakistani national in February this year.

The Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist has challenged the verdict in the Supreme Court.

After their nomination, Solkar and Shah were appointed by the Maharashtra State Legal Services department to take up Kasab's defence in his appeal against the death penalty awarded to him by a trial court in the November 2008 terror attack. A notification for their appointment was issued on June eight, 2010.
