Mumbai The nation’s ace counter-terror agency, National Security Guard (NSG), will send a legal advisor along with an NSG commando who has been summoned by the special sessions court conducting the 26/11 trial to depose before it on Tuesday, similar to a practice followed in the US by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that has a legal advisor to assist and accompany any agent who has to depose in a court of law if the trial is in a foreign country.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said, “NSG commando Lt Col R K Sharma will be arriving in the city on Monday. He has to depose in court after a summons was issued by the court. He was told to be present before it on Tuesday. Their legal advisors will accompany Sharma to court when he deposes,” Maria said.

The court had issued a summons against Sharma who had led the operation against terrorists at Hotel Trident-Oberoi during the 26/11 attack. Assistant security officer Rajesh Kadam of the hotel had mentioned Sharma’s name during his deposition. Accordingly, the court, using its powers under Section 311 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) had issued a summons to Sharma to come to the court and depose regarding details of the operation carried out by him and other NSG commandos.

During the recent depositions of FBI agents who carried out investigations after the terror attacks, they were accompanied by a legal advisor who flew down from the US along with them and was present in court, taking notes on the court proceedings.

Later the FBI team also took certified copies of the evidence as they would be presenting in a court in the US where they had registered a case against conspirators of the Mumbai terror attack case, as, according to the US law, if any of its citizen is killed anywhere in the world, a separate case is registered in the US against the perpetrators. In the Mumbai attack case, a total of five US citizens were killed.

What a waste of time and money. Indian law is a laughing stock in world media by freddie (Indian) on 26 Oct 2009

What a waste of time and money. The world knows and everyone in mumbai know that KASAB and his 9 member gang were behind the carnage. Waiting for congress to finished their terms as 5 years and wait for the BJP to give the judgement so that BJP will be in bad books. Good trick played by the ruling congress. When world is watching the India law is saying we are following UN resulations. When people are travelling the train there is no UN resulation. Whether how many passenger must be in the train and what are safety measures to follow.
