Lawyer gets notice for planning to represent Kasab

Amravati-based lawyer Mahesh Deshmukh is in trouble for planning to take up the case of Ajmal Kasab, the sole terrorist captured alive in the 26/11 carnage, as the Bar Council of Maharashtra has served him a showcause notice for professional misconduct.


A senior bar council member on Monday confirmed the report. "We are invoking the provisions of the Advocates Act for initiating disciplinary action against Deshmukh,'' he told TOI. Under the Act, he said, soliciting clients is an offence, as such Deshmukh was liable for disciplinary action.


Deshmukh denied the charge, saying as he has offered his services to Kasab, there was no violation of the Advocates Act.
