Additional Solicitor General Darius Khambatta mentioned the petition on Tuesday on behalf of the Central Government. The Division Bench of Justice JN Patel and Justice Amjad Sayed has kept the petition for hearing on Wednesday.
Judge ML Tahiliyani — special judge presiding over the 26/11 trial — had summoned three NSG commandos who were part of the team that stormed the Taj Mahal Palace, Hotel Oberoi Trident and Nariman House during the terror strikes. The special court had summoned three commandos — Lt Col Rakesh Kumar Sharma, Major Ravindra Prakash and Captain Anil Jakhad — to testify regarding the operations carried out by them.
The judge had issued fresh summons on October 27, asking them to appear on November 9. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had told the court that he had received a report from the elite commando group, saying Lt Col Sharma was suffering from gastroenteritis and admitted to a hospital at Manesar in Haryana. The trial court had issued fresh summons to him also.

It is indeed strange that the judge requires more proof that war was being waged against the country and that the Pakistani scoundrels are indeed guilty !! Why in the name of heaven does he want made public the way that the NSG functions? To ensure that the Pakistanis can launch a better and more effective attack ? Why it was necessary, in the first place, to give a "fair trial", to these monsters beats comprehension - hanging the lone terrorist caught, from the nearest tree would have been justice. By casting doubts on the veracity of witnesses and asking for more proof, the "learned judge" is preparing the ground for releasing the terrorist. And before he does that he wants to ensure that the Pakistanis can glean all secrets needed to ensure a more devastating attack on India. Shame on such traitors.
