Kasab's fate to be decided tomorrow

The Special Court in Mumbai will pronounce its sentence on Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai attacks case tomorrow. The Move comes after the prosecution pitched for the death penalty for the Pakistani terrorist and the defence pleaded for leniency given his young age. Special judge M L Tahaliyani reserved his judgment after public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and defence counsel K P Pawar wrapped up their arguments on the quantum of sentence for 22-year-old Kasab, who was held guilty of mass murder and waging war against the nation yesterday. Nikam described the killing of 166 people in the terror strikes as a rarest of the rare case fit for awarding death to the convict. He said Kasab was in a joyous mood after seeing people dying in pain and agony after opening indiscriminate fire at the bustling Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and elsewhere on November 26, 2008. <br/>
