September 02, 2011 11:31

The Supreme Court agrees to hear the Maharashtra government's plea against the acquittal of two accused -- Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed -- in 26/11 Mumbai attack case. The SC has issued notices to both Ansari and Ahmed, who were acquitted by Bombay High Court in the Mumbai terror attacks.

The SC is also likely to take up Ajmal Kasab's letter challenging the death penalty awarded to him in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, had moved the apex court on July 29 in this regard.
