Mumbai, Feb 15 (PTI) The trial of Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab and two Indians in the 26/11 terror attack case has entered a crucial phase with the prosecution and defence lawyers gearing up to submit arguments on February 20.
The court would assemble this weekend, nearly a month after it concluded recording of evidence.
Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and Kasab's lawyer K P Pawar said they were ready to put forth their arguments. So also, the lawyer of co-accused Sabauddin Ahmed, Ejaz Naqvi, is all set to argue the case of his client.
However, the sudden killing of advocate Shahid Azmi, who represented co-accused Faheem Ansari, is likely to defer the arguments as Ansari would have to engage another lawyer who will have to go through the entire evidence which is time consuming.
Azmi was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in his suburban Kurla office last week.
