Faheem Ansari seeks re-trial of 26/11 case

In a new twist to the 26/11 terror attack case, Faheem Ansari, accused of facilitating the crime perpetrated by terrorists, has moved the Bombay High Court seeking re-trial on the ground that he had no confidence in the judge.

Hearing Faheem's petition sent through the jail authorities, Justice J N Patel and Justice Amjad Sayed yesterday directed additional public prosecutor Rajesh More to file a reply within two weeks.

The High Court has also ordered appointment of a lawyer from the legal aid cell to argue the case on Faheem's behalf. Faheem has submitted that he did expect justice from the trial judge M L Tahaliyani as he felt that the proceedings were not being recorded properly.
