ET reports:

The Bombay High Court will decide the fate of Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab on February 21 when it will pronounce the judgement on confirmation of death sentence to the LeT operative in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, nine months after it was handed down by a trial court.

Justices Ranjana Desai and R V More said they were ready with the judgement even today but because of bulky paper work and heavy compilation they would pronounce the verdict on February 21.

On the same day, the judges said, they would also give judgement on the appeal filed by the Maharashtra government challenging the acquittal of co-accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed [sic] in the same case. They were given the benefit of doubt by the trial court.
