Prasad.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing to procedural lapses, Ramachandran told the court that Kasab was provided lawyer Abbas Kazmi April 16, 2009 and on next day April 17, 2009, he retracted his confessional statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If he would have got the lawyer&#8217;s assistance right from the beginning, one wonders if confessional statement would have been made,&#8221; Ramachandran told the court.<\/p>\n<p>Ramachandran also contested that Kasab could not be accused of being a part of a larger conspiracy of waging war against the government of India.<\/p>\n<p>He said in the given facts and circumstances of the case he could be accused of murder and terrorist activities.<\/p>\n<p>The court was told that Kasab was taken before a magistrate for the recording of the confessional statement during police custody.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court was told this during the hearing of Kasab&#8217;s appeal challenging upholding of his death sentence by the Bombay High court Feb 21, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The amicus curiae told the court that &#8220;confession by Kasab was liable to be eschewed from consideration on account of denial of constitutional consideration&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Admitting that the magistrate court did ask Kasab if he needed legal assistance of a lawyer and he declined, Ramachandran told the court that it was just fulfilling the requirements of the provisions of the criminal procedure code and not satisfying the constitutional mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The amicus curiae told the court that an accused was not just offered his right but he was informed of the right under the constitution and law.<\/p>\n<p>When the court observed that &#8220;you can say it was a formal compliance&#8221; of the provisions of the criminal procedure code, Ramachandran said that it was not in accordance with the mandate of the constitution and fell short of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you mean that if a person declines the offer of lawyer even then a lawyers has to be imposed on him,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The judges inquired &#8220;does the law require that the moment a person is taken into custody he is entitled to legal assistance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The amicus curiae told the court that Kasab was in police custody from Nov 27, 2008 till February 2009.
