But it may take years to hang Kasab
Thursday, 6th May 2010
Hanging 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab may be sooner said than done as the death sentence given by the special court in Mumbai Thursday will now have to be endorsed by the Supreme Court and, in case of a mercy petition, will require the president's assent.
The entire process could take years if not decades as there are at least 52 people still waiting for presidential assent on their execution, while nearly 300 others condemned to the gallows by lower courts are awaiting the apex court's endorsement.
