A special court here is today expected to take a decision on a prosecution plea for postponement of the trial of three accused in the Mumbai attacks, including Mohammed Ajmal Qasab, to April 13.
Special Judge ML Tahiliyani is likely to take a decision on the application filed by the prosecution seeking the trial be postponed since the high security court in Arthur Road jail is not yet ready.
Qasab, the lone terrorist arrested in connection with the attacks in the city, is likely to appear before the court through video conferencing from the Arthur Road jail in central Mumbai.
The judicial custody of Qasab, currently lodged in a high security cell in Arthur Road jail, ends today. Qasab has not been produced in open court since his arrest citing security reasons.
